CGC
It seems I've imagined Him all of my life
FCG
As the wisest of all of mankind
FCGAmGF
But if God's holy wisdom is foolish to man
GsusGC
He must have seemed out of His mind
FCGC
For even His family said He was mad
FCGsusG
And the priest said, "A demon's to blame,"
FCGAmGF
So God in the form of this angry young man
GsusGC >(run to F)
Could not have seemed perfectly sane
Chorus:
FCGC
When we in our foolishness thought we were wise
AmF
He played the fool and He opened our eyes
CFGAm
When we in our weakness believed we were strong
FGC >(run to F)
He became helpless to show we were wrong
FCGC
And so we follow God's own fool
FCGsusG
For only the foolish can tell
FCGAmGF
Believe the unbelievable
GsusGC
And come be a fool as well
