V1)
Is it foolishness in me
to believe in my God?
Should a man believe in nothing,
to have no hope?
Should he wander in the darkness
and towards happiness grope?
V2)
Is man truly of great worth
Or is it all a façade?
Is he a Son of God
or a lowly beast?
Is he worthy of nothing
or is he welcomed at the feast?
CHORUS)
Is it foolishness in me
To believe in my God?
Is man truly of great worth
Or is it all façade?
Is it madness to follow the way
On the path Christ has trod?
Is it foolishness in me
To believe in my God?
V3)
Is it madness to follow the way
On the path Christ has trod?
Can a man follow another
Or should he plow his own road?
Can a man help his neighbor
Or to each his own load?
CHORUS
