Seems I've imagined Him all of my life as the wisest of all of mankind. But if God's holy wisdom is foolish to man, He must have seemed out of His mind. For even His family said He was mad and the priests said a demon's to blame. But God in the form of this angry young man could not have seemed perfectly sane.
We in our foolishness thought we were wise, He played the fool, and He opened our eyes.We in our weakness believed we were strong, He became helpless to show we were wrong. So we follow God's own fool, for only the foolish can tell. Believe the unbelievable and come be a fool as well.
So come lose your life for a capenter's son. For a madman who died for a dream. You'll have the faith His first followers had and you'll feel the weight of the beam. So surrender the hunger to say you must know, have the courage to say I believe. For the power of paradox opened your eyes and blinds those who say they can see.
We in our fooloshness thought we were wise; He played the fool, and He opened our eyes. We in our weakness believed we were strong; He became helpless to show we wrong. so we follow god's own fool, for only the foolish can tell . Believe the unbelievable and come be a fool as well.
