lyrics
Men of wisdom do not speak; they keep a tight reign on their tongue.
But the fruit grown from their branches tells the tale,
of a man who came and died to bring us back to life.
Now we can be what we were made to be.
Men who know the truth are quiet, feeling no need to impress.
But the message that they teach is indescribable with words.
It is the message of the Son, Father, and Spirit three and one,
and a virgin with a sign Immanuel.
You cannot learn if you don't listen.
You cannot listen when you speaking.
You cannot think over the sound of your own voice.
If we admit in the beginning that we don't have it figured out,
then we'll learn a lot of what life’s all about.
