FOOLISH CHILD

LYRICS AND MUSIC BY STAN C. COUNTZ

V1
G C D
My crazy life was spinnin’ out of control
G A7 D7
He touched my everlivin’ heart and soul
G C D
Now my feet are planted firmly on the rock
G C D G
And my name is clearly written on the roll

CHORUS
D C Am
We are all like foolish children who, desiring to be wise
D C G
Trade truth for superstition and hope for compromise
D C Am
Losing all our inhibitions, our stock in trade is lies….
D C Em
Misusing our traditions, we’ve cut our family ties
D Em C G
Cut ‘em down to size, Oh Foolish Child

V2
G C D
His love for me has always been deep and wide
G A7 D7
He will always stay right by my side
G C D
No one can ever take me for a ride
G C D G
If I will let His Spirit be my guide

CHORUS
D C Am
We are all like foolish children who, desiring to be wise
D C G
Trade truth for superstition and hope for compromise
D C Am
Losing all our inhibitions, our stock in trade is lies….
D C Em
Misusing our traditions, we’ve cut our family ties
D Em C G
Cut ‘em down to size, Oh Foolish Child

V3
G C D
Just can’t wait to see His gentle face
G A7 D7
To feel the touch of His warm embrace
G C D
He saved me by His Amazing Grace
G C D G
So I will run to win the race

OUTRO
D C Am
We judge a book by its cover when we choose our friends and lovers
D C G
He’ll stick closer than a brother if in His ways we will abide
D C Am
If we’ll love and serve each other, He’ll stay true to His bride
D C Em
He’ll walk along right by our side until we win the prize
D Em C G
Walk with me a while Oh Foolish Child
