Such Foolishness



“You sit content at Jesus’ feet
My milk was good, now taste the meat
My daily bread is always new
But take no more than you can chew

Remain in me doubt foolish doubt
Through faith I’ll turn your life about
Receive my Holy Ghost my child
And through His help be reconciled

Now rid yourself of every care
It matters not what clothes you wear
I’m not concerned how good you look
To me your heart’s an open book

Come in tatters or finest gown
The choice is mine who’ll wear life’s crown
But welcome all who come inside
If truly now you’re Jesus’ bride

Put all your foolish things away
Twas not for these I died that day
I came to free my chosen few
Not to put new chains on you

How is it sin no hat to wear?
Why should I mind or even care?
A child in rags I’ll love no less
Than those who wear the finest dress

Be wise my child I’ve set you free
Just leave the things you wear to me
I know what’s good I know what’s right
Yet you may put a child to flight

Pharisees taught such things as these
But man not God they sought to please
Important is that none should fall
Sinner or saint, I love you all”.
