Lletres: Tree63. Sunday. Foolishness.

What wisdom hangs a man up on a tree
As the only way to end my misery?
What kind of thinking made the way to heaven hard ?
A crooked journey down a straight and narrow path?

CHORUS
How can I make sense of this?

I am living in God?s foolishness

All the money and the power and the cleverness
Of this world, defeated by foolishness
Foolish things shame the kings

What wisdom puts the prophet in a desert place
Nobody to hear a single word he says?
And what wisdom brings reward from suffering
Where if I want to win I have to lose everything?

CHORUS

Cool water from a rock ? salvation from a Nazarene
Dethroned for the unloved ? a cross in the heart of God

CHORUS

I reasoned myself to death but
I was saved by foolishness
All my big ideas made such a mess
But I?m clean now, saved from foolishness
Foolish things made a king from a fool
