O, it takes a foolish man
To believe in the blood of the Lamb,
Or so the world would have you believe;
"Lord, make me to be that foolish man."
I'll be foolish for Him
Who died for my sins;
I will do or be anything I can;
My Jesus, they mocked
While He hung on the cross;
"Lord, let me be that foolish man."
O, "where is the wise" of this world,
When the hope of the world is despised;
We're counted fools to believe in God's plan;
"Lord, make me to be that foolish man."
I'll be foolish for Him
Who died for my sins;
I will do or be anything I can;
My Jesus, they mocked
While He hung on the cross;
"Lord, let me be that foolish man."
