Folly forsakes the foundation

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]
Foundational truth
from which wisdom flows
is knowledge and reverence
of the Being who knows
the compass of truth,
how all things began –
our earth and the stars:
through time he can scan.
He sees minds that doubt,
deny that he is,
won’t carefully ponder –
worst folly is this
presuming there’s no-one
far greater than we,
ignoring the prophets
and Christ’s purity
‘in all his thoughts there is no room for God'. Psalm 10:4 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.'Proverbs 9:10
[IP: Fool, foolishness]

Indeed, "worst folly
Indeed, "worst folly is this presuming there’s no-one far greater than we", even with all the human rights stuff- who gave us all these supposed rights?
Especially the first stanza is brilliant but both are. Lovely lyrics lovely poetry and profound I would say.
Have good week &&
