God`s Own Fool Lyrics

God`s Own Fool lyrics

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 men
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

Chorus
When we in our foolishness thought
we were wise
He played the fool and He opened our eyes
When we in our
weakness believed we were strong
He became helpless to show we were
wrong
And 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 carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a
dream
And 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 opens your eyes
And
blinds those who say they can see

Chorus

So we follow God's own
Fool
For only the foolish can tell
Believe the unbelievable, 
And come
be a fool as well
