About This Song:

We live in an age that celebrates intellect and self-reliance, yet even at our most brilliant, human “wisdom” does not touch the hem of God’s so-called “foolishness.” Scripture reminds us that what seems right to us often leads us astray, and our best thinking falls short when it is separated from Him. We, the Foolish is a confession. It admits our limits and warns against relying on our own insight, calling listeners to lay down self-sufficiency. The song points toward humility, showing that trusting in God and asking for His wisdom changes everything. We, the Foolish invites listeners to live with God at the center — guided by His wisdom that does not fail and shaped by His love that lights the path forward.
