G D G
Seems I've imagined Him all of my life
C G D
As the wisest of all of mankind
C G D Em
But if God's Holy wisdom is foolish to man
D C G
He must have seemed out of His mind
C G D Em
For even His family said He was mad
C G D
And the priest said a demon's to blame
C G D Em
But, God in the form of this angry young man
D C G
Could not have seemed perfectly sane
Chorus
C G D Em
When we in our foolishness thought we were wise
D C D
He played the fool and He opened our eyes
C G D Em
When we in our weakness believed we were strong
D C D G
He became helpless to show we were wrong
C G D G
So we follow God's own Fool
C G D
For only the foolish can tell
C G----D--Em D C G
Believe the unbelievable, come be a fool as well
C G D Em
So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
C G D
For a madman who died for a dream
C G D Em
And You'll have the faith His first followers had
D C G
And you'll feel the weight of the beam
C G D Em
So surrender the hunger to say you must know
C G D
Have the courage to say I believe
C G D Em
For the power of paradox opens your eyes
D C G
And blinds those who say they can see
Chorus
C G D Em
So we follow God's own Fool
C G D
For only the foolish can tell
C G----D--Em D C G
Believe the unbelievable, come be a fool as well
