I have played the greatest fool, chasing dreams of my glory

All the while, I knew about wisdom but never her beauty inside

Then came the morn when pride had completely deceived me

And wisdom led me to the cross where my Savior died

There is no Hope apart from Glory of Jesus

All man’s campaigns, simply attempts to hide

But Glory’s Light shines straight through to the darkness

And sets us free to truth and eternal life

I started out a man who didn’t even know that he was in prison

A man so thankfully set free by the sacrifice of the Son of God

The Lord has been faithful to complete the work that He once started

Turning me into a man vaguely resembling Christ

But I never would have lived if it hadn’t been about Jesus

Because by myself all I could ever be was truly alone

But thanks be to God He didn’t leave me there in my folly

He’s chosen me for Glory and I’m headed home
