THE HEART OF THE WISE

  In these politically correct times, it is not popular to lean to the right!!  Infact it is just the opposite.  We are expected to all lean to the left!!  This is what happens when the Bible is no longer relevant in our lives.  Yet it is interesting what the wisest of all men recorded about this.  He said the following in the Book of Ecclesiastes:10:2, “THE HEART OF THE WISE INCLINES TO THE RIGHT BUT THE HEART OF THE FOOL TO THE LEFT.”  He also wrote the Book of Proverbs which is filled with wonderful and great words of wisdom!!  This wisdom came to him as a gift from God.  He was King Solomon, and became King after the reign of his father, David.

     It is also interesting what Jesus had to say about the right and the left.  He said in Matthew:25:31 that when he would return, that all the nations would be gathered before him and he would separate the people.  On the right he would put his sheep but on his left, he would put the goats.  The ones on the right are those who followed him, but the ones on the left are those who rejected him.  Those who followed him are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb (Rev. 19:9) but those who reject him are cast out!!  How important is it to be popular with the world and lean to the left if we lose our very souls?!!   Pondering on those words out of our Bible, I wrote and composed the following song:

A GREAT HARVEST IS COMING, JESUS MADE IT VERY CLEAR,

A WEEDING OUT OF ALL NATIONS, WHEN HE RETURNS HERE.

JESUS WILL PUT HIS SHEEP ON HIS RIGHT, THOSE WHO LOVED AND FOLLOWED HIM,

BUT TO HIS LEFT, HE’LL PLACE THE GOATS, THOSE WHO DELIGHTED IN ALL SIN,

AND REJECTED HIM!!

AFTER THE SEPARATION, JUDGEMENT FOR ALL NOW TAKES PLACE,

THOSE ON JESUS LEFT ARE CAST AWAY WITH SHAME AND DISGRACE.

BUT THOSE ON HIS RIGHT ARE SO VERY BLESSED WITH AN INVITATION TO ATTEND,

THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB AND WITH JESUS TO HEAVEN ASCEND.

CHORUS

THE HEART OF THE WISE INCLINES TO THE RIGHT,

BUT THE HEART OF THE FOOL TO THE LEFT,

DON’T BE A FOOL AND GIVE SATAN THE TOOL,

TO DEVOUR YOU WITH DESTRUCTION AND THEFT!!  (repeat verse)

NEXT VERSE

A WONDROUS CELEBRATION LIKE NOTHING BEFORE,

WHEN THE BRIDE MAKES HERSELF READY FOR HER GROOM TO ADORE.

DRESSED IN FINE LINEN, CLEAN, PURE AND WHITE,

THE BRIDE WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE, PRESENTABLE IN GOD’S HOLY SIGHT.

CHORUS

THE HEART OF THE WISE INCLINES TO THE RIGHT,

BUT THE HEART OF A FOOL TO THE LEFT,

BE WISE, BE WISE AND STAY TO THE RIGHT

AND FOREVER DWELL IN GOD’S HOLY LIGHT.

THE GROOM IS OUR LORD,

AND THE CHURCH IS HIS BRIDE,

WITH HIM FOREVER, THE SAINTS WILL ABIDE.

SING HALLELUJAH AND LIFT UP YOUR VOICE

CLEANSED BY THE LAMB, WE CAN ALL REJOICE.

SING HALLELUJAH AND LIFT UP YOUR VOICE,

CLEANSED BY THE LAMB WE CAN ALL REJOICE-repeat.

CHORUS

THE HEART OF THE WISE INCLINES TO THE RIGHT,

BUT THE HEART OF A FOOL TO THE LEFT,

BE WISE, BE WISE AND STAY TO THE RIGHT

AND FOREVER DWELL IN GOD’S HOLY LIGHT!!
