Intro:

D:-4–5-5-7—4-4-5-5-7-

Verse:
Won’t you be a good boy
Listen closely and enjoy
All the benefits that getting wisdom brings
Give her esteem
She is priceless and supreme
She will crown your head with more honor than
king

Chorus:
Get her boy and let yourself surrender
Run alone with her and never fall
She is wisdom and her most praiseworthy trait of
all Of them all
Embrace her and the love she brings will save you
By her father’s justifiable ways
She is wisdom waiting with her prize Garland of

Grace

Verse 2:

Do you have none Do you cry out for the one Would you offer anything to
understand
Study her will And in time the truth will tell
How it’s wisdom that completely makes her man And she will now so…

Chorus:

It’s her garland…

Verse 1
Sometimes its sink or swim
And I’ve been treading water

I should have expected the flood
But floating never has been easy for me
You caught me carefree
And You called me like you saw me, ah…a sinner.

Verse 2
And I said five wits, looks and strength
I don’t think are much in the way of companions

And good deeds couldn’t pay me account
Not kinsmen or knowledge stand
The trial of every man..oh no
Don’t call me every man…

Chorus
Call me Christian, …call me Christian
Call me Christian, …call me Christian.

Intro 1X (2nd part of lead guitar)

Verse 3
I’ve looked on the evergreen
And I’ve seen it constantly grow and show us life
And I want to live eternally
I want to be an imitation of Christ
I want to be a little Christ.

Chorus

Bridge
As a boy I’d put my steps
In my brother’s bigger tracks

To match his stride
And just like that I’ll follow Jesus
Jesus is my guide.
