The Maker of All Things Lyrics

When you make a vow to God
Do not delay to fulfill it
Do not let your mouth
Lead you into sin

Don't be quick with your mouth
Don't be hasty in your heart
To utter anything before God
Let your words be few

Guard your steps when you go
To the house of God
Go near to listen rather than
To offer the sacrifice of fools
Who do not know
That they do wrong

It is better to heed the
Rebuke of a wise person
Than to listen to the song
Of fools

Like the crackling of thorns under the pot
So is the laughter of fools

The quiet words of the wise
Are more to be heeded
Than the shouts of a
Ruler of fools
Wisdom is better
Than weapons of war

As you do not know the path of the wind
Or how the body is formed in a mother's womb
So you cannot understand the work of God
The Maker of all things

Consider what God
Has done
Who can straighten what he has
Made crooked?

No one knows what is coming
Who can tell someone else what will happen after them?

The end of a matter is better
Than its beginning
And patience is better than pride
For anger resides in the lap of fools
Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious
But fools are consumed by their own lips
