Fool's Gold

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

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 things

When the crowns of gold are laid before His feet

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

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 are laid before His feet

Then the worthy Lamb of God is a treasure we will keep

Some may call me foolish

Ssome may call me odd

But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man 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

For the higher prize I'm pressing toward

I'll preach the foolish cross of Christ and wait for my reward

Fool's gold
