Oh Foolish Man

I have displayed my folly 

I’ve acted like I know better

I’ve spoken unwise words to the Most Holy 

I believed I was way smarter. 


Foolishness had the best of me

How can I compare my thoughts 

To the one who gave me the ability to think

I most certainly wasn’t thinking 


I’ve accused Him wrongly 

Of misfortunes I brought upon myself 

And I pushed my responsibilities 

Lessons unlearned, for Him to fix.


Oh Foolish Man 

I lived like I knew it all

My attempt to use the one who knows it all

Shows how barely I know. 


In my folly 

You remained Holy 

When I thought I could do it solely 

You showed up as my one and only!


I repent of all my foolish ways

I’m not worthy to be called Yours

Yet You call me Your own!

You called me worthy. 

Not because of what I did

But what You’ve already done for me. 

Worthy, Worthy is my God!


What a patient love 

It swallowed up my ignorance 

Subdued my toxicity 

Absorbed my mistakes 

Endured my misfortunes 

And still remained the same. 


I cannot know any better without You

I’ve seen the folly in my mistrust 

I’ve learnt Your wisdom in the silence 

I repent for my misguided speech


If I don’t trust You

Who or what else can I trust?

Who is as wise as You?

Who has my tomorrow in His hands?

Who else can love unconditionally?

Who will be these patient with me?

Who can endure my folly?

And still entrust me with precious gifts?

Who will guide me daily
