Tree63 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
