Ah regret is sure…
Eh failure is close!

If mine heart refuse to be diligent
Oh if mine hands refuse to be consistent

Then regret is close
Ah! Failure is near…

If my works is lacking diligence
Yea, if my labour is not consistent

But behold, mine heart hath rejects diligence
Oh mine hands refused to be consistent

So, I peeped into my near future
Eh! I could perceive failure
Oh I travelled into mine destiny
And I could feel regrets

So I perceived If I refuse to be diligent
Yea, in my choice in life
Yes! In the things of God

For behold, I set goals but in vain
Yea, I planned mine days but it sometimes fails

So, mine heart warns me
Oh my soul gave heed
And mine spirit utter wisdom

That if thou refuse diligence
Eh! If thou rejects wisdom

How your mates may move ahead of you
Oh your fellows might become kings over you
And your heart will drink many sorrows
Eh… Your soul will feel all regrets

So, think and be thou diligent
Awake and be thou consistent

Let hardwork be part of your lifestyle
Yea, allow Wisdom to lead your path straight

That you might have an excellent story
Oh that you might have an successful glory!

That the the enemy might not laugh over you
Yea, that your foes should not rejoice over you!

Selah
