The Foolishness of God

"Come lose your life for a carpenter's son

For a madman who died for a dream

Then you'll have the faith His first followers had

And you'll feel the weight of the beam"

"but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." 1 Cor 1:23-24

A babe in the straw

Was the God who inspires awe

The Word of God made man

So that we might understand

From Nazareth, the carpenter's Son, 

Came with a purpose, the Father's will to be done

He had no to place to lay His head

He left the throne of heaven to stand in our stead

He chose his followers, called them by name

they were not perfect but none would ever be the same

He chose the outcasts of this world to declare His word

In the weak of this world His message was heard

And today He calls you

His message is true

On the cross He did die

but now is risen on high

Will you bow the knee?

will you answer His plea?
