(Praise Him)
Oh, hear the wisdom of the spirit today
Don't look with your eyes alone, look with your heart
Yes Lord
Young Ama stood in Bibiani, beauty in her grace
A leader in the choir, a smile upon her face
She saw a man named Kwaku, with a motorbike so bright
He had the gold, he had the charm, he seemed to be the light
Her mother Maame Yoyo said, "My daughter, stop and pray,
Seek the counsel of the Father, don't rush along the way"
But Ama felt the fire, she thought she knew the plan
She turned away from wisdom, and reached out for the man
Oh, don't choose with your eyes alone
Ask the Lord to make His purpose known
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart
Don't let your own eyes keep your soul apart
For He knows the ending from the start
Oh, don't choose with your eyes alone
(Hallelujah, yes Lord)
Two months they spent in wedding bliss, the vows were quickly said
But secrets hidden in the dark soon filled their home with dread
Behind the mask of Sunday smiles, the bitter cup would flow
The liquor burned within his veins, a secret he’d bestow
Now Ama sits in quiet tears, the pain is all she knows
She didn't ask the Shepherd where the path of marriage goes
Opanin Ampoma warned, the Pastor prayed in vain
But now she’s learning lessons through the fire and the rain
Oh, don't choose with your eyes alone
Ask the Lord to make His purpose known
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart
Don't let your own eyes keep your soul apart
For He knows the ending from the start
Oh, don't choose with your eyes alone
(Thank You Jesus, glory)
Proverbs three, verses five and six
Are the only way the broken spirit sticks
Lean not on your understanding, cast your cares away
He will make your path straight, even when your skies are grey
(Praise Him, glory!)
So let this be a message to the youth in every street
Don't let a handsome face be the only thing you meet
Check the spirit, check the fruit, bring it to the throne
Don't build your house on shifting sand, build it on the stone
Ama’s waiting for the morning, waiting for the light
Praying for the grace to make the crooked pathway right
Oh, don't choose with your eyes alone
Ask the Lord to make His purpose known
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart
Don't let your own eyes keep your soul apart
For He knows the ending from the start
Oh, don't choose with your eyes alone
Don't choose with your eyes
Ask God for His eyes
Yes Lord, Amen
(Glory to God, Amen)
