Solomon Was a Wise Man

Tune: Mulberry Bush

Solomon was a wise man,

A wise man, a wise man,

Solomon was a wise man,

He listened to God’s word.

The Wisest Man

Tune: Mulberry Bush

Who was the wisest man?

Wisest man, Wisest man.

Who was the wisest man?

King Solomon of old.

Who was the richest man?

Richest man, richest man.

Who was the richest man?

King Solomon of old.

God Made Solomon The Wisest Man

by Rosemary Lemcool Capen

Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It

God made Solomon the wisest man of all,

He knew plants and trees and mosses on the wall.

If you asked him any question,

He had tons of great suggestions,

God made Solomon the wisest man of all.

He wrote 3,000 proverbs quicker than a wink.

Wrote 1,000 songs while others tried to think.

His smart brain just seemed to soar,

Indeed, he even wrote 5 more.

God made Solomon the wisest man of all.

He taught others birds and animals to know.

He brought fishes, snakes and lizards in to show.

People came from far and wide,

They looked up to him as guide,

God made Solomon the wisest man of all.

Wisdom Song

Tune: 10 Little Indians

By Amanda Wilson

Wisdom means making good choices,

Wisdom means making good choices,

Wisdom means making good choices,

Wisdom means fearing God.

Wisdom gives us a long life,

Wisdom gives us many riches,

Wisdom gives us respect and honor,

Wisdom is a blessing.

Wisdom Is better than silver,

Wisdom is better than gold,

Wisdom is better than diamonds,

So how do we get wisdom?

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom,

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom,

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom,

The Bible gives us wisdom.

Rich Ole King

Tune: Duke of York

There was a rich ole king,

Who had thousands of men,

He marched them up to the top of the hill,

And marched them back again.

There was a rich of king,

Who had thousands of men,

God gave him lots of wisdom, too,

His name was Solomon.

And when you’re wise, you’re wise,

And when you’re a fool, a fool!

And when you’re only halfway wise,

you’re really just a fool.

Wise or Foolish

Tune: Deep and Wide

Wise or foolish,

Wise or foolish,

Which one will you choose?

Wise or foolish?

Solomon was wise,

Solomon was wise,

Then he left the Lord,

He was foolish!

Wise or foolish,

Wise or foolish,

Which one will you choose?

Wise or foolish?

Building the Temple

Tune: Wheels on the Bus

The temple was built in Jerusalem,

Jerusalem, Jerusalem,

The temple was built in Jerusalem,

Solomon built the temple.

Solomon worked hard for seven long years,

Seven long years, seven long years,

Solomon worked hard for seven long years,

Solomon built the temple.

Solomon followed God’s exact plan,

God’s exact plan, God’s exact plan,

Solomon followed God’s exact plan,

Solomon built the temple.

Books of Wisdom

Tune: Did You Ever See a Lassie?

By Amanda Wilson

Let us sing the books of wisdom

Of wisdom, of wisdom,

Let us sing the books of wisdom,

There are five books in all

First Job, then Psalms,

Next Proverbs, Ecclesiastes,

Then last comes Song of Solomon,

Wisdom for all.
