''Like Fools For Love, I Am a Fool For God''

Like fools for love, I am a fool for God; like a whirling dervish, I'll dance for Him; and count myself a bug in blesséd sod, for He sustains all of me, every limb! Some are fools for power, and some for greed; but I am foolish for His Holy Bread, a clown and jester for His Word, indeed; and guest at His court where I am richly fed. None are so foolish so as to be poor; but I'm, like a fool, broken for His sake: for what I need worldly riches no more can heal or mend—for life is but heartache. Once, I was a fool most of all for desire; but now, I just lust for His Baptism's fire!
