The Foolishness of God
[A. Discovery] You see inside my every move There's nothing hidden now from you ...And I can see the treason It's in my heart (Looking at the one who made me And the truth is found so plainly Life without you is all vanity) All my thoughts are from Vanity's prison For a life sentence And the world sees a façade On the inside filth and rot Appearance of a whitewashed tomb Yet inside filth and rot consume ...It pries my faith and reason and soul apart (Looking at the one who made me And the truth is found so plainly Life without you is all vanity) A silent war is on No escaping from Vanity's prison [B. Lamentations] See my heart Look into my eyes You hear my groans Poor man, I am lost... Hear my call Listen to my cries A prisoner You know that I am lost... [C. Reality] And I know just what I am Chasing after things of man Under the sun is vanity We are restless till we rest in Thee And I know just who we are With a void that's in our heart Only You can set us free We are restless till we rest in Thee The silent war is on No escaping from Vanity's prison

(Sometimes a man can feel alone And even though the way is shown The mind still wanders off the path The heart invites a state of wrath Our isolation caused by sin Declared a war that's deep within Now all must enter into this fray and choose which master to obey) Traveling down this dusty road A war is raging in my head Like two dogs fighting for control The one who wins has just been fed You know me Can you show me? I am lost To know Thee And behold Thee And be found Traveling down this dusty road A war is raging in my head Like two dogs fighting for control The one who wins has just been fed Our battle is not with flesh and blood A spiritual war is fought instead The daily struggle for the truth lies on a bumpy road ahead You know me Can you show me? I am lost To know Thee And behold Thee And be found

[A. Desire – Instrumental] [B. Arrival] Oh yes, he worked all through the years His vision is so clear Achievement far beyond his peers His destiny is near He sees the city It's so inviting All mankind is shining through Making it on their own They all worked so hard Attaining fortune With status...and he did, too Making it on their own He gets inside He sees the streets of lies are paved with strife Not gold as advertised Ego sprawling Greed appalling Love of self abounds Vice is calling Truth is falling Nothing noble found [C. Disillusionment – Instrumental] [D. Destruction – Instrumental] Welcome to the city of man Welcome to hell

We live from day to day with exposure to the actors Who have been assigned a role on life's stage We've come to think we know how the script goes Yet no one can seem to get their actions right day to day Thrust upon the stage of time and space The role of life awaits to be played We look upon our heart as a mirror Yet it keeps reflecting all the things we seem to despise The tongue can be so kind and endearing Yet it keeps dispensing all the evil things from the heart And I see the symptoms are from inside And the realization The only chance of hope is from above (All my life, laid before You All my life) Thrust upon the stage of time and space The role of life awaits to be played

Fool in his heart says there's no God Looks at the sky, gives no regard Out of his mouth flows a man's heart Treasure reveals who is his god No they won't give regard to the one who is God Arrogant scientist Was it chance that made all this? Who could restrain Pleidaes or know the laws of heavenlies? Yet you think you understand from your perspective as a man on earth It's the sign of the times and it's nothing new When a man in his mind puts an ending to The role of God and the things only he can do With the laws of the mind as the final proof (What was not Has become By the one Who is God) No they won't give regard to the one who is God Arrogant scientist Was it chance that made all this? (Out of his mouth flows a man's heart Treasure reveals who is his god) What is the abode of light? And where do you think dark resides? And who contains the universe and what went on before the first Big Bang? It's the sign of the times and it's nothing new Mr. Sagan and Hawking are looking through The lens of knowledge and the things that they make it do Fertile minds are the gods that they are bowing to (What was not Has become By the one Who is God) Walking down this road I see Science and philosophy Working hard to show to how we came to be But their ideas seem to deny what's clear to me Like a dog chasing his tail Flavor of the month prevails With every brand new idea man they applaud Yet, not an ounce of credit will they give to God

On my sojourn I walk alone I see a vastness But my world is small “The fool in his heart says there is no God. Since what may be known about God is plain to all, because He has made it plain to all. His invisible qualities have been clearly seen and may be understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Though they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator” (Psalm 14:1, Romans 1:19-20, 22, 25) Live my life, sing my song And you'll look into my eyes and know...that I really know Look up to the skies... We all really know The truth is shown to every human And God revealed through His design To look at nature and the heavens From the truth you cannot hide (Look outside Look outside Look outside Open your eyes) Condition of a man in Asia is no problem of yours We only speak for just one life And blaming others, not yourself, for all the things that are wrong in the end will not justify Winds of knowledge always blow The man of wisdom tossing to and fro Fool in his heart says there's no God He will follow his own desire In our science pride does control They search for answers, but they don't want to know “The heavens declare the glory of God. The skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech. Night after night they display knowledge... Their voice goes out into all the earth. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what is not seen. By faith we understand that the universe was formed by God.” (Psalm 19:1-2, Hebrews 11:14) Live my life, sing my song And you'll look into my eyes and know...that I really know Look up to the skies... We all really know And with a loving voice We gave you a song And you did not rejoice So we sang a dirge - you did not cry You say you want to know But you will not accept All that has been shown It seems like nothing for you satisfies

Woke up to the sound of a melancholy symphony Of catastrophic fears that my mind has self imposed Walking through a haze of a shapeless swarm of vivid colors Seems like forty days or an hour - I don't know Mind is so unclear Yet I know exactly what I've done Pretending not to hear what my heart tells me is wrong Looking for a way to have all my actions justified I cultivate some friends who just smile and play along And then I'm on my way Heart is full of fear From a paranoiac dispensation And it does appear that the devil wants control Headed for the place where the separation never ends It's only through God's grace that I missed a six foot hole Me

There lay in Zion a stumbling stone To those who will trust him No shame at all (They call it tolerance Respect all thoughts Silence is fueling Spiritual fraud) It shows Death grows Hell knows That this silence Oh this silence numbs the heart Silence isn't golden when truth is in the dark It shows Death grows Hell knows That this silence Oh this silence numbs the heart Silence isn't golden when truth is in the dark And God has held out His hand all day long Obstinate people don't care at all (The spiritual blind man follows his heart into death's valley Yet no one speaks out) With sighs Despised Closed eyes And this silence Oh this silence rips apart Silence isn't golden when truth is in the dark

[A. Human Wisdom] For it is written, "I will utterly ruin the wisdom of the wise. I will reduce to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the professional arguer of the world? Has not God reduced to foolishness the wisdom of the world?” Of course we run away from love We run away from God He that is the truth is what we do not want Like lightning falling from the sky We are surrounded with the lies “With all the wisdom the Greeks had… With all the wisdom the Egyptians had… With all the wisdom of all the cultures of all mankind in its totality… In the wisdom of God they never found Him. The golden age of Greece led them to Plato's Republic, utter disaster, moral chaos, and multiple polytheistic worship. That was the golden age of Greece. The summit of man's wisdom led him to despair.” Some do fear You Others jeer You All will die [B. Arrogance and Idols] And we see this world around us It's the same as long ago Still searching for the answers But without the God that knows...who knows ...eyes turn away Away to heed the things within the heart Eyes turn away Eyes turn away The arrogance of man is rising to a lofty level And I see the land is full of idols Bowing down to what their fingers made “Never before in the history of mankind have there been so many people running around the landscape saying, “here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here…” And nobody has found Him yet…” [C. Faith and Foolishness] A man named Noah listens to the jeers of neighbors laughing at a man who builds a boat on land Utter foolishness to those who see this act of faith apart from God A man named Moses running for his life He tries to part the sea by raising up a wooden staff Utter foolishness to those who see this act of faith apart from God [D. The Biggest Foolishness] The biggest foolishness? ...A man named Jesus Christ Carpenter man, who walked on the water Claimed he was here to die for all men Living a life of total perfection Miracles at the touch of his hand Why this foolishness? ...to show the strength of God Nazareth man, who claimed he was God Proved this by raising up from the dead Only requires a man to believe it Acknowledging that he is who he said Oh stubborn man By his wisdom he denies Oh it seems like foolishness to believe the things of God “And you know, God has one more piece of foolishness, which is greater than all the rest of the foolishness that's in the Bible... The greatest foolishness of God is this: that He intends to save mankind through the death of a crucified Jewish carpenter who died outside the walls of Jerusalem almost two thousand years ago, whom He personally resurrected from the dead...” [E. Epilogue] A confession for the man that I used to be A profession of a love that has set me free Proclamation to the world that I do believe An invitation to the one willing to receive “Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Neither is there salvation in any other. There is no other name given under heaven among men whereby you must be saved... The foolishness of God is God's method of saving men.”
