"Foolish and Small"

© Oh Sparrow Music 2024. Alex Fleeman.

In a world that values power, wealth, and status, it can be easy to forget that God often chooses to work through the weak and foolish to display His glory. This song is a reminder that our unity as brothers and sisters in Christ is far more important than any earthly measure of success or significance. Whether we consider ourselves powerful or small, wise or foolish, we are all called to boast not in our own achievements, but in the cross and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sisters and brothers
I thank God for you
For He put the truth in your heart
And we need each other
If we're gonna make it through
And I don't need you to be powerful or smart

For God chose you
Though you're foolish and small
He shines His truth
Through the weak and not the strong
So let's take our courage
Not from wisdom or signs
But from Christ crucified
Yes, from Christ raised to life

As for me, I'm a steward
Of the mysteries of God
I'm His servant, and I hope to be found true
Sister, you are a temple
Of the Spirit of the Lord
Brother, you're a lamp
The gospel can shine through

For God chose you
Though you're foolish and small
He shines His truth
Through the weak and not the strong
So let's take our courage
Not from wisdom or signs
But from Christ crucified
Oh, from Christ raised to life

Let the one who boasts
Boast in the Lord
Let the one who boasts
Boast in the Lord
Let the one who boasts
Boast in the Lord
Let the one who boasts
Boast in the Lord

For God chose you
Though you're foolish and small
He shines His truth
Through the weak and not the strong
So let's take our courage
Not from wisdom or signs
But from Christ crucified
Oh, from Christ crucified
Yes, from Christ raised to life
