“Are any of you wise or sensible? Then show it by living right and by being humble and wise in everything you do. But if your heart is full of bitter jealousy and selfishness, don’t brag or lie to cover up the truth.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Lord you must open my eyes
So I can see I’m un-wise
My cleverness became a snare
That keeps me from seeing what’s there

Wisdom can become a crutch
To save us from feeling too much
Words can turn into a fence
Cheap sympathy hiding offense

Make me a fool for Your love
Set my heart on things above
Free my mind from selfish pride
As grace now flows where wisdom died

Today I will not hide behind wise words
