歌词
[verse 1]
In the eyes of the world, they see it as folly (oh-oh)
But the message of the cross, it's power, not folly (yeah)
The wisdom of the wise, they cannot comprehend (no)
God's strength in weakness, His plan to the end
[pre-chorus]
For it is written, I'll destroy the wisdom of the wise (wise)
The intelligence of the intelligent, I'll bring to naught (naught)
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar's might? (where?)
God chose the foolish things to shame the strong and bright
[chorus] [energetic]
Foolish to the wise, but power to the saved (oh)
In the face of arrogance, His love won't be swayed (yeah)
Boast in the Lord, let His glory be displayed (woah)
For the wisdom of this world will soon fade
[verse 2]
Brothers and sisters, not many of you were wise (oh)
Not many were influential in the world's eyes (no)
God chose the lowly, despised, and the weak (yeah)
To nullify the things that are, His purpose we seek
[bridge] [heavy]
So that no one may boast before Him, we stand (stand)
Christ became for us wisdom from God, the perfect plan (plan)
Righteousness, sanctification, and redemption's hand (hand)
Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord's land
[chorus] [energetic]
Foolish to the wise, but power to the saved (oh)
In the face of arrogance, His love won't be swayed (yeah)
Boast in the Lord, let His glory be displayed (woah)
For the wisdom of this world will soon fade
[outro] [grunge]
Foolish to the wise, in His strength we rise (rise)
The cross our power, our truth in disguise (disguise)
Boast in the Lord, forever our cries (cries)
For the wisdom of this world, in Him it dies
[End]
