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 Foolish, foolish, foolishness, foolish Yeah, foolish, foolish, foolishness, foolish 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 Foolish, foolish, foolishness, foolish Oh, foolish, foolish, foolishness, foolish 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
