Gods Own Fool chords by Michael Card

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
