For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
1 Corinthians 1:21
In the wisdom of God
He sent His Son
wisest man to ever live
eternal truth and life to give
it is Jesus’ name we proclaim
for His glory and the shame
The message of the gospel appears
foolish to those who hear
the cross is not worldly wise
it finds no acceptance in their eyes
but is often sniffed at with disdain
mocking Jesus and His name
But it is this folly that we preach
and God’s wisdom will still reach
those lost in confusion and sin
the gospel will help them enter in
the wisdom of God will rescue
those who call out, Lord, to You
Lord, please save those who will hear
and listen as Jesus will draw near
call them to reject those worldly ways
filled with Your Spirit, fix their gaze
on Jesus, the wisdom of God to see
them safely Yours for eternity
