Gods Own Fool Lyrics - Card Michael

Michael Card 

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 

Even His family said He was mad 

And the priest said a demon's to blame 

But, God in the form of this angry young man 

Could not have seemed perfectly sane 

Chorus 

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, come be a fool as well 

So come lose your life for a carpenter's son 

For a man never 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, come be a fool as well
