Ecclesiastes Lyrics

Ecclesiastes

I The Teacher Was King Over Israel  I Devoted Myself To Study And Explore By
Wisdom All That Is Done Under Heaven   What A Heavy Burden God Has Laid On Men
I Have Seen All The Things That Are Done Under The Sun, A Chasing After The
Wind  What Is Twisted Can Not Be Straightened   What Is Lacking Can Not Be
Counted   I Applied Myself To The Understanding   Of Wisdom And Also Of Madness
And Folly But I Learned That This Too Is A Chasing After The Wind  What Is
Twisted Can Not Be Straightened   What Is Lacking Can Not Be Counted With Much
Wisdom Comes Much Sorrow   The More Knowledge The More Grief  I Denied Myself
Nothing  My Eyes Desired  I Refused My Heart No Pleasure  My Heart Took Delight
In All My Work   And This Was The Reward For All My Labour Yet When I Surveyed
All That My Hands Had Done And What I Had Toiled To Achieve Everything Was A
Chasing After The Wind  The Fate Of The Fool Will Overtake Me What Then Do I
Gain By Being Wise  For The Wise Man Like The Fool   Will Not Be Long
Remembered   In The Days To Come Both Will Be Forgotten Like The Fool, The Wise
Man Too Must Die I The Teacher Was King Over Israel  I Devoted Myself To Study
And Explore
