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?
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 a prophet in a desert place
Nobody to hear a single word he says?
What wisdom brings reward from suffering
Where if I wanna win I have to lose everything?
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
Cool water from a rock, salvation from a Nazarene
Dethroned for the unloved, a cross in the heart of God
Yeah, how can I make sense of this?
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
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, how can I make sense of this, sense of this, yeah?
Oh, how can I make sense of this?
Oh my God, it's foolishness
Oh, how can I make sense of this?
Oh my God, it's foolishness
Foolish things made a king from a fool
