[Verse 1]
Hey, I used to walk around thinkin’ I had it all,
Head held high, but headed for a fall.
Wise in my own eyes, I couldn’t see the truth,
But God showed me a prideful fool is still a fool.
Yeah, the patient heart is stronger than the proud,
I had to learn to quiet down, stop livin’ loud.
[Bridge)
Every careless word can be a rod upon your back,
But wisdom lifts you up and keeps your life on track.
Thought I was strong, but I was wrong —
Till grace came along…
[Chorus]
God says a prideful fool is just a fool,
So learn from Him and don’t be a tool.
Lay down your pride, let humility guide,
He gives more grace to the lowly inside.
Pride goes before the fall — yeah, that’s the truth,
But He’ll lift you up when He’s livin’ in you.
Let love rule, let God rule —
Don’t be a tool.
[Verse 2]
Haughty eyes will only lead you to disgrace,
But honor comes to hearts that walk in grace.
I tried standing tall, tried doing it alone,
Till God said, “Child, come back home.”
The world is full of envy, lies, and foolish pride,
But wisdom starts with fear of the Lord inside.
[Bridge)
All that boasting only brought me strife,
But taking good advice, yeah, it changed my life.
Thought I was strong, but I was wrong —
Till grace came along…
[Chorus]
God says a prideful fool is just a fool,
So learn from Him and don’t be a tool.
Lay down your pride, let humility guide,
He gives more grace to the lowly inside.
Pride goes before the fall — yeah, that’s the truth,
But He’ll lift you up when He’s livin’ in you.
Let love rule, let God rule —
Don’t be a tool.
[verse]
Before destruction comes a haughty heart,
So let Him tear that foolish part apart.
Your family, your future—pride can take it all,
But humility will catch you when you fall.
Live in harmony, stay close to the lowly,
Never be wise in your own sight only.
[Breakdown – a cappella style]
Ohhh… He hates the pride of life,
But He’ll lead you into light…
If you surrender tonight…
[Chorus]
God says a prideful fool is just a fool,
So learn from Him and don’t be a tool.
Lay down your pride, let humility guide,
He gives more grace to the lowly inside.
Pride goes before the fall — yeah, that’s the truth,
But He’ll lift you up when He’s livin’ in you.
Let love rule, let God rule —
Don’t be a tool.
[Final Chorus]
God says a prideful fool is just a fool,
So learn from Him and don’t be a tool.
Come walk in grace, let Him heal your soul,
Let humble hearts become whole.
Pride goes before the fall — but He’ll rescue you,
If you bow your heart and follow His truth.
Let love rule, let God rule —
Don’t… be… a tool.
