God's Own Fool

Just an FYI...in case you may have wondered why I have taken this title, here's the song by Amy Shreve      that made me adopt it:


•Seems I’ve imagined Him all of my life as the wisest of all of mankind
•But if God’s Holy wisdom is foolish to men
•He must have seemed out of His mind

•For even His family said he was mad
•And the priests said a demon’s to blame
•For God in the form of this angry young man
•Could not have seemed perfectly sane

•For we in our foolishness thought we were wise
•He played the fool and he opened our eyes
•We in our weakness believed we were strong
•He became helpless to show we were wrong

•So we follow God’s own fool
•For only the foolish can tell
•Believe the unbelievable
•Come be a fool as well
