Before Fools in High Places Strayed...

 (had to think about this song as I jotted this poem...by God's tender mercy I have lived it!)

PAD challenge day 1: Write a 'foolish' poem.

At home, at school, at work they prayed

And pitied faithless frauds

Before fools in high places strayed

And worshiped lesser gods

Oh, once upon a Sunday morn

Churches were filled with praise

Of Holy, Holy before scorn

Of fools chose broader ways

A fool worships man’s lawless grants

Their gods, slack and uncouth

Deceived, hand-me-down ignorance

No longer knows the truth

But changeless God abides, His love

Lavishes human race

The fool replies ‘there is no god’

And God replies with grace

 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." 

They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; 

there is no one who does good.

Ps.14:1

Scripture has much to say about fools,

And only a fool ignores it.

This is not harsh…

it is Truth.
