Words by Bob Hartman

Based on 1 Corinthians 1:21-25, Revelation 21:18
|
|
Some say this life I live is only foolishness
|
No waiting pot of gold in the faith that I possess
|
But the treasures of this life will slowly turn to dust
|
And this fool will find His gold in the Savior that I trust
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Fool's gold - it's waiting in a crown
|
Fool's gold - in a city coming down
|
I'll leave the gold I can't afford
|
For the higher prize I'm pressing toward
|
I'll preach the foolish cross of Christ
|
And wait for my reward
|
Fool's gold
|
|
The wisdom of the cross - is easy to receive
|
But only foolishness - to them that don't believe
|
They may say that I'm a fool for the cross that I proclaim
|
But the gold that I must seek won't be found in earthly fame
|
|
When the crowns of gold all lay before His feet
|
Then the worthy Lamb of God is the treasure we will keep
|
Some may call me foolish - some may call me odd
|
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of men
|
Than a fool in the eyes of God
|
