WisdomÂ
My knowledge and wisdom are available to all who seek
Over time they surely come for the ones who are not meek
My glory and guardian angels are at their post
When you feel things are at their worst seek the host
My body and blood were a sacrifice for your peace
Pray now that My gifts will shine and you will decrease
When you cover yourself with My blood
All the gifts of heaven will come to you like a flood
Each gift is given with an exact purpose
Take them to your heart then let them surface
Your love you share with those around
With My gifts used in wisdom will be profound
Seek all My gifts and guard them like a treasure
Over time the words and healings will give all pleasure
When and how to use My gifts will come as you seek My wisdom
It is finished now!
