"The 'fear of God' is SUCH a vital concept for us and our children to understand!! I have tried to present a helpful explanation in this song!" ~ Judy Rogers

lyrics

The Fear of the Lord

If you rebuke a fool he will only laugh at you,
If you correct a mocker he will hate you.
But a wise man takes to heart the instruction you impart,
He will love and he will be wiser still.

For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And knowledge of the Holy One will give you understanding.

For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And blessed is the man who walks in Wisdom's Way!

Now, we all need to understand what it means to fear the Lord.
It's hating every evil thing and loving to obey our King!

But, if you rebuke a fool he will only laugh at you, "HA!"
You correct a mocker and he will hate you.
But a wise man takes to heart the instruction you impart,
He will love and he will be wiser still.

For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And knowledge of the Holy One will give you understanding.
For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And blessed is the man who walks in Wisdom's Way!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And knowledge of the Holy One will give you understanding.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And blessed is the man who walks in Wisdom's Way!
