G   F   G   F   D7

[Verse 1]
             F
You were the very first, before the world began
                            G
And the oceans rose and the rivers ran
        F
And the water flowed
           D7                       F
Before the mountains and hills were set in place

Before stars in the sky and the human race
         G
You were there
            F     D
You were there


[Chorus]
   F    C                G      D
Wisdom, teach me what is right
   F    C                G      D
Wisdom, come and give me sight
   F    C              G
Wisdom, come and be my light
   F       G   F   D7
My light


[Verse 2]
            F
You are the voice of truth that is just and right
                            G
A shield to the faithful, a sword for the fight
  F
A path for the wise
    D7                             F
And those who desire you more than silver or gold

Will find understanding within the soul
    G
For you are there
        F       D
You are there


[Chorus]
   F    C                G      D
Wisdom, teach me what is right
   F    C                G      D
Wisdom, come and give me sight
   F    C              G
Wisdom, come and be my light
   F       D
My light


[Chorus]
   F    C                G      D
Wisdom, teach me what is right
   F    C                G      D
Wisdom, come and give me sight
   F    C              G
Wisdom, come and be my light
   F
My light
