In a world where wisdom's sought,  
The wise, the sages, all are taught.  
Yet in this age, so bright and bold,  
God's truth outshines the tales of old.

For in His wisdom, vast and deep,  
He calls to those, their faith to keep.  
Not through grand signs or wise debate,  
But in His love that conquers hate.

Jews seek signs, the Greeks their lore,  
Yet Christ crucified, who could ignore?  
A stumbling block, a foolish game,  
To those who seek but worldly fame.

Yet to the called, both near and far,  
Jew and Greek, beneath His star,  
Christ stands as power, wisdom true,  
God's might and mind in view.

For what seems foolish in God's hand,  
Surpasses wisdom of the land.  
And in His weakness, strength is found,  
A paradox where grace abounds. 

So let us seek not just to know,  
But in His steps, humbly go.  
For in the folly of His cross,  
Lies the path to gold from dross.
