Wisdom Cries Out

Verse 1

Wisdom cries out in the streets,

Raising her voice in the squares.

She stands where the pathways meet —

Calling to those unaware.

Verse 2

"How long, you simple ones, will you love being naive?

How long will scoffers find joy in their schemes?

Fools hate knowledge — but I've stretched out my hand.

You turned your back, refused to understand."

Chorus

I called, you did not listen.

I reached, you turned away.

You cast off all correction,

Now hear what I will say…

Bridge

"Because you despised every word I supplied,

Laughed at My counsel, let pride be your guide,

When fear comes like a storm, when ruin is near,

You'll cry to Me — but I will not hear."

Chorus 2

I called, you did not listen.

I warned, but you denied.

You traded peace for mockery,

You chose the lie.

Pre

Wisdom cries out — but will you hear?

Her voice is near — not far from here.

Return and I will pour My Spirit in…

Let truth begin.

Final Chorus

I called, will you now listen?

I reached — don't look away.

Turn to Me, and live again.

While it's still today.
