Fools
A fool can be distinguished by the look that's in their eyes
Especially when captured in the foolish things he tries
That look that feigns of innocence as though they did not know
All seeds one sows reveal the truth when given time to grow
Into their full maturity to bear the fruit they bring
No longer hiding what they are as God shows everything
That's hidden that's not covered by His all amazing grace
When at the last that person stands before Him face to face
But every fool when tested which the Lord will surely do
If wise can be perfected as a child in Christ made new
If they will be abandoned to the will of God in them
Releasing every hold they have on what dishonors Him
And seeking every morning every moment every day
Not paths of their old habits but a new and living Way
Where God dwells deep within them as their Sovereign Lord and Guide
Revealing only what needs shown but not the guilt He hides
That serves no purpose in His plan of taking sin away
For in Him we have something new to look toward everyday
That starts with precious moments spent absorbing from His Word
The beauty and the power from the mighty truths there heard
Those truths about His Kingdom and the ones who will live there
The ones who here left foolishness behind through daily prayer
That fostered not discouragement but hope and joy and peace
As they took opportunity to give Him full release
And watch through faith His working every moment that He'd do
That work of making foolish wise the Way He's wanting to
As step by step each moment He reveals His will to them
Of what will make them shining lights to lead the world to Him
For lights are all the brighter when they've first been dark and cold
And youth seems all the younger when restored to those once old
And fools who lived to serve themselves bring glory to God's throne
When they seek just the will of God to make His will their own
And find in Him that promise of eternal joy and peace
Beginning here extending to when life will never cease
When side by side and hand in hand they walk with Christ as one
Forgetting all the foolish things that once unwise they'd done
Proverbs 20:1-11; 2 Timothy 3:13-17; Psalm 14:1
