your foolishness on that cross

so much of what God has done
in our lives and in the stories
in the truth, our history,
that which was written down
foolishness in the eyes of the word
informed ever by love
your foolishness on that cross
that tree, that hill so long ago
taking on our sins
to let your people go
freed of our chains
nothing more than that
knowing even then we were guilty
sending you to your death
