Poetry
It is marvelous, O, Lord.
The way you do things is amazing.
I wonder, how wise your foolishness is?
The foolishness of God is great.
Brethrens, I’m taken aback.
I remember dear Lord what seems like foolishness.
Seems like foolishness in the eyes of men.
When you told Gideon the warrior to go to war.
To go to war with only three hundred men,
Three hundred men with no weapons, but gourds only,
It was so surprising when the gourds were broken.
The enemy began to fight against each other.
And Gideon conquered the war.
The way you do things is amazing.
I recollect, O, wonderful father,
It looked like foolishness in man’s eyes.
When Jehoshaphat was on war.
You told him not to grab a single weapon.
Instead, you instructed for a choir to be assembled,
As if Jehoshaphat was going for a singing contest.
It was amazing, going to war with a choir and no soldiers.
Fighting against greatly armed man.
It was amazing when the choir sang.
The enemy fled and fought against each other.
Victory was bestowed in Jehoshaphat’s hands.
The way you act is really fascinating.
It’s so surprising God of wonders,
It seemed like foolishness in man’s eyes.
When the mighty walls of Jericho were brought down.
Not even a single fourteen-pound hammer was used.
Instead Joshua and the Israelites, you told them.
Told them to walk round the walls seven times.
On the seventh day they walked around seven times.
What next, the walls collapsed heavily.
The way you do things is astounding.
It is incredible, O, Lord I’m stunned.
But for now Holy Spirit us to understand God's ways.
Many are things God say and do, but we don’t understand.
We see it as foolishness in our own eyes.
But it is greatness on God's side.
Grant us the discerning spirit to know your ways,O lord
Mighty God you are really magnificent.
