If he's wise in the eyes of the Lord
A man who is wise in the eyes of the world
May gain fortunes of wealth and fame
He may own mansions grand with abundance of land
And the whole world his name may proclaim
But a man who is wise in the eyes of the Lord
Will have riches this world can't afford
Mansions here can't compare with the one he'll have there
If he's wise in the eyes of the Lord
He'll lay up his treasures in heaven
Where thieves cannot break through and steal
He'll walk every day in the straight narrow way
And each vow to the Lord he'll fulfill
Yes a man who is wise in the eyes of the Lord
Will have riches this world can't afford
Mansions here can't compare with the one he'll have there
If he's wise in the eyes of the Lord.
