Her lush voice caressed my eardrums
They tingled and tingled till my heart jingled
Like a bell in a cemetery
The silence was broken
I was jolted out of my perpetual slumber
Awakened to the reality of newness of life
For Wisdom was all that I needed all this while
No wonder she is the principal thing
No one else compares to her
Despite their curves and bends
They do not match up to the beauty of my dearly beloved Wisdom
I can't even fathom why she chose me
I will never forget that day she called out to me with her lush voice
I was in an abyss of gloom and doom
I was totally in despair
In fact, my life was beyond repair
In essence, I was without hope, without God in the world
But she loved me anyways!
Oh! That voice! That voice! That lush voice!
That tickled my eardrums
It reverberated in my stony heart, hard as it was
All of a sudden, this stony heart became a heart of flesh!
Oh! That voice! That voice! That lush voice!
From the bottomless depths of that abyss of shame, I heard the voice calling out my name!
My name! Wisdom knew my name! Oh!
How lovely it was!
Like a vacuum cleaner, that voice sucked me out of that abyss!
And gently showed me the Way, saying, "You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart! Give me your heart and let your eyes observe my ways."
She went on, "For I have loved you with an everlasting love; while you were yet a sinner, I died for you!"
My heart longingly cried after her, "How can I be in union with you when I am covered with all this mess from this abyss?!"
But she looked at me with all tenderness in her eyes and said to me, "Behold! I make all things new! Is there anything too hard for me? Come as you are! I will wash you, sanctify you and justify you!"
Today, her lush voice calls out to you, "Come to me all you who are weary and are heavy laden and I will give you rest!"
