Response The Call of Wisdom (I Am Here; I Am with You) Will Todd The GraceNotes

Lord of wisdom, Lord of truth, Lord of Justice, Lord of mercy; Walk beside us down the years till we see you in your glory

Striving to attain the heights, turning in a new direction, Entering a lonely place, welcoming a friend or stranger.

I am here, I am with you. I have called: do you hear me? I am here, I am with you.

Silver is of passing worth, gold is not of constant value, Jewels sparkle for a while; what you long for is not lasting. I am here, I am with you…

Blessings crown the head of the just; violence overwhelms the wicked Those who know me know my love; those who seek me find their answer. I am here, I am with you…

God the Father and the Son, Holy Spirit coeternal. Glory be ascribed to you, now and to the end of ages. I am here, I am with you. I have called: do you hear me? I am here, I am with you. Michael Hampel (based on Proverbs 8)
