Fool’s Gold

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

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

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

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

Fool's gold, it's waiting in a crown
Fool's gold, in a city coming down
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

Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold...
