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 |
