The Folly of God Lyrics

The kingdom of God is like a foolish farmer

Spreading her seed where it may never grow

The rocks don't discourage, nor the weeds alarm her

As she sows the seed wherever she may go

Hallelujah, see God's mercy unfold

Hallelujah, hear God's wisdom untold

All who believe, this gift will receive

The seed in the soil of our hearts will grow

The kingdom of God is like an anxious shepherd

Seeing his flock is down to ninety-nine

If even one sheep has wandered from its pasture

Then seeking it out, he leaves the rest behind

Hallelujah, see God's mercy unfold

Hallelujah, hear God's wisdom untold

All who believe, this gift will receive

The sheep that are lost, brought back to the fold

In every heart the seeds of love are planted

Pull out your weeds and dig up your stones

Oh wandering sheep, wherever you are stranded

The Rescuer has come to bring you home

The kingdom of God is not how we would do it

It's better than anything that we devise

The wisdom of God is folly to the foolish

But the folly of God is wisdom to the wise

Hallelujah, see God's mercy unfold

Hallelujah, hear God's wisdom untold

All who believe, this gift will receive

The seed in the soil of our hearts will grow

The sheep that are lost, brought back to the fold

Through folly, the kingdom of God is made known
