Backstory

"Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding, for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy." (Proverbs 3:13-18, from the New Revised Standard Version Bible, 1989)

Smalltown Poets have a song based on this proverb; it's a pretty good one.

Dean, thanks for the information. I had never heard of Smalltown Poets before. What's the title of the song based on the proverb I've quoted here? I just found an article about Smalltown Poets on Wikipedia.

Dean6805 says,

I think it's the title track on "Listen Closely." It's been a long time since I heard it, but I think that's it.

Oops, I just looked... "Garland of Grace."

Thanks, Dean.
