“FOOL’S WISDOM”
Malcolm & Alwyn

Got myself some wisdom from a leather back book
Got myself a Savior when I took a second look
I opened up the pages and what did I find
A black and white portrait of a king who’s a friend of mine
Funny how when you think you’re right everybody else must be wrong
Till someone with fools wisdom somehow comes along
His voice was strange and the words he said I didn’t quite understand
Yet I knew that He was speaking right by the leather back book in his hand
Hey Hey what a day! Fools Wisdom
Hey Hey what a day! Fools Wisdom
Got myself some wisdom from a leather backed book
Got myself a savior when I took a second look

A few decades back there were a handful of bands and artist who pioneered what we have come to know as contemporary christian music. With their simple and sincere faith artists and bands like Keith Green, Larry Norman, Love Song, Parable (of whom my parents were members) and many others drew up the maps to what was then uncharted territory. Now, years later, I believe much can still be learned from the examples they set both in lifestyle and in art. The song “Fool’s Wisdom” by the artists Malcolm & Alwyn is one of my favorite songs from that era. The great amount of quality and honesty that it holds in it’s lyrics and melody seem hard to come by now a days. I love singing it. I hope you like listening to it.
