"How much better is it to get wisdom than gold, and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!" (Proverbs 16:16).
We go for the medals, the silver and gold,
And those who achieve them we rightly applaud.
Yet there is a prize with a value untold
For those who obtain the approval of God.
Better is wisdom with all its rewards,
As we set our hearts on achieving its goal,
Than all of the gain that this world affords,
For what shall it profit the perishing soul?
Let’s go beyond gold in every endeavor,
Running with patience our heavenward race,
Giving the glory to God who forever
Will save us and keep us with wisdom and grace.
