Where is there a wise man?
And where is a scholar?
Someone that has a plan,
That can earn a dollar.
A persuasive speaker,
Who is from our time;
One as a thrill seeker,
Unable to do time.
Has not God turned wisdom,
In this world to nonsense;
That had blocked His Kingdom,
Also tore down the fence.
The world with its knowledge,
Never did recognize;
The Lord to acknowledge,
That His wisdom is wise.
So God used some rubbish,
That could be understood;
Even by those foolish,
Inclusion never could.
We speak to who believe,
The Word of the Good News;
So all of you receive,
Salvation if you choose.
The Jews look for a sign,
The Greeks seek for the wise;
Some see the stars align,
To see through the disguise.
Our message offends,
That Christ was crucified;
As for some it intends,
That the Gospel has lied.
They believe not of strife,
That someone would endure;
And then brought back to life,
To give the sinful cure.
His nonsense is wiser,
Than all human wisdom;
To be an advisor,
From up in His Kingdom.
