[C]
It seems I've imagined [G] him all of [C] my life [F] as the wisest of [G] all of mankind.
[F] But if God's holy [C]
wisdom [G] is foolish [Am] to men, [Em] he must have [G] seemed out [C] of his mind.
[Dm]
[C] [F] Even [C] his family [G] said he [C] was mad, [F] and the priests said he [C]
had demons [G] to blame.
[F] But God, [C] in the form of [G] this angry [Am] young [Em] man, could [F] not have [G] seemed perfectly [C] sane.
[Dm]
[C] [F] When we in [C] our foolishness [G] thought we [C] were [G] wise, he played [Am] the fool and [G] we [F] opened our [G] eyes.
[C] When we in our weakness [G] believed we [C] were [G] strong, he [Am] became helpless [G] to show we [C] were wrong.
[F] So [C] we followed [G]
God's [C] own proof, [F] but only [C] the foolish [G] can tell.
[F] Be [C] the [G]
[Am] unbelievable, [G] come [F] be a [G] fool [C] as well.

[C] [G]
[Am] [G]
[F] [G] [C]
So come lose your life for [G] a [C] carpenter's son, [F] for a [C] madman who died for [G] a dream.
[F] And you'll have [C] the faith his [G] first followers [Am] had, [G] and [F] you'll feel [G] the weight of [C] the beams.
[F] So surrender [C] the hunger [G] to say you [C] must know, [F] have the courage [C] to say I [G] believe.
[F] For the power [C] of paradox [G]
opens [Am] your [C] eyes, and blinds those [G] who say they [C] can see.
[F] When we in [C] our [G] foolishness thought we [C] were [G] wise, he [Am] played the fool [G] and we [F] opened our [G] eyes.
[C] When we in our weakness [G] believed we [C] were [G] strong, he [Am] became helpless to [G] show we [C] were [Dm] wrong.
[C] [F] So [C] we followed [G] God's [C] own proof, [F] but only [C] the foolish [G] can tell.
[F] Be [C] the
[G] [Am] unbelievable, [G]
come [F] be a [G] fool [C] as well.
