Because the foolishness of God is wiser than
men; and the weakness of God is stronger
than men. - The Apostle Paul

English lyrics:
Verse 1:
With the bitterness of every weakness, You made for us a precious salvation
In humiliation and reproach, You were among the sinners
You accepted the trial and every slap because You love us
A love beyond our imagination
Chorus:
Your strength is Your cross, and foolishness to those who forsake it
By Your stripes, we are healed, the handwriting was nailed to it
It was a sacrifice that the Father smelled with pleasure and delight
Despite its shame, it’s our pride in the cross throughout the ages
Verse 2:
The One who does all righteousness was willing to be counted among the wicked
He became sin and was wronged, cursed, and did not speak a word in His injustice
He accepted to be insulted like a criminal, He became a lamb led to slaughter for our salvation
From Him, through Him, and to Him are all things from creation
Bridge:
He obeyed to the point of death, and the prophecy was truly fulfilled in Him
He accepted being stripped for the sake of my righteousness
A love that gives with precious blood, He carried our evils
