Proverbs 18:15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

Earquest R Aylor

Can the ear seek out that it might find Like the doe seeks out the light of day Like a man pursues true love divine Or a mountain lion seeks its prey

Check out any gossiper, you can almost watch their ears grow Like a magic bean stalk or Pinocchio’s nose Yes, the tongue is a fire, but it still takes the ear To help spread its flames, of scandal and fear

So then what’s in our heart depends how we listen The ear of the wise also thrives in their mission Knowledge for good in our charge for God’s glory Quest to proclaim the good news of His story

So may we all listen with the greatest of pleasure To the beautiful sounds that proclaim Jesus Christ As the supreme, unsurpassed, incomparable treasure Who’s glory transforms us and gives us life
