Wisdom Over Folly | Pause Before Impulse Destroys Again

Wisdom Over Folly by FrequentSuspicion. Album: Carry It Forward · Track 2 of 12. The song turns from impulse and self-protection toward teachability, restraint, and the fear of God, asking wisdom to govern what folly once destroyed. The contrast is lived through decisions: pause instead of impulse, counsel instead of isolation, truth instead of self-justification, and obedience instead of appetite. Recorded in Bermuda Dunes, California. Published from Dominguez Park, Indio, California.

Published lyrics: I have seen the race belong to someone who was never the fastest, seen the battle turn when the strongest thought they had it mastered. I have watched the wise go unnoticed, watched the humble disappear, while the loudest voices in the room became the ones everybody hears. Time and chance come for everyone, every name and every throne, every person chasing greatness eventually finds they are not in control. The strongest hands can still fall empty, the sharpest minds can still be ignored, but wisdom has a value far beyond what the world rewards. Teach me not to chase the applause. Teach me not to fear being unseen. Let me value what You value. Let me become who You call me to be. Give me wisdom over folly. Give me truth over pride. Teach me how to walk Your narrow road When the world walks wide. Let me not build a kingdom That fades when the winds blow. Give me the heart of the wise man Who only needs You to know. I have seen a poor man with wisdom save a city from destruction, but after the danger passed, the world forgot his contribution. I have seen voices ignored because they didn't come dressed in power, seen truth standing quietly while deception owned the hour. But a forgotten man is not forgotten by the Father, and a hidden act of faith is still seen by the One who matters. The world may measure success by the things that people remember, but heaven weighs the heart and the faithfulness surrendered. A name can fade. A throne can fall. A voice can disappear From the memory of all. But wisdom remains. Truth does not die. God sees the hidden things Behind every eye. Give me wisdom over folly. Give me truth over pride. Teach me how to walk Your narrow road Until the day I die. I don't need the world to crown me. I don't need a borrowed throne. If I have walked faithfully with You, I was never walking alone. The fastest do not always finish. The strongest do not always stand. The wise are not always remembered By the eyes of man. But You see every hidden thing. You know every faithful choice. And I would rather live one quiet life with wisdom Than a thousand years following folly. Lyrics written by Greg Granger. © Greg Granger.
