Michael Card – Gods Own Fool (Guitar)

     C                      G         C
It seems I've imagined Him all of my life

         F        C          G
As the wisest of all of mankind

        F           C         G         Am G-F
But if God's holy wisdom is foolish to man

                    Gsus-G      C
He must have seemed out of His mind

     F         C     G          C
For even His family said He was mad

          F              C         Gsus-G
And the priest said, "A demon's to blame,"

    F           C           G           Am  G-F
So God in the form of this angry young man

                      Gsus-G     C     F
Could not have seemed perfectly sane

     F           C           G              C
When we in our foolishness thought we were wise

Am                         F       
He played the fool and He opened our eyes

C                F         G              Am
When we in our weakness believed we were strong

             F         G            C       F
He became helpless to show we were wrong

    F       C     G         C
And so we follow God's own fool

      F        C         Gsus-G
For only the foolish can tell

   F         C - G - Am  G-F
Believe the unbelievable

              Gsus-G    C
And come be a fool as well

    C                         G           C
So come lose your life for a carpenter's Son

       F          C          G
For a madman who died for a dream

        F              C               G       Am G-F
Then you'll have the faith His first followers had

             Gsus-G      C
And you'll feel the weight of the beam

     F         C     G          C
So surrender the hunger to say you must know

          F              C         Gsus-G
And the courage to say I believe

    F           C           G           Am  G-F
Let the power of paradox open your eyes

                      Gsus-G     C     F
And blind those who say they can see

    F       C     G         C
And so we follow God's own fool

      F        C         Gsus-G
For only the foolish can tell

   F         C - G - Am  G-F
Believe the unbelievable

              Gsus-G    C
And come be a fool as well
