The Wisdom of Solomon

Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart

My son, do not forget my law,
Your heart keep my commands;
For length of days, long life, and peace,
Are yours from God's own hand.

Mercy and truth, do not forsake,
Write these upon your heart;
And in the sight of God and man,
Favor shall not depart.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
From wisdom do not stray;
In all you do acknowledge Him,
And He shall guide your way.
