Fool's Gold

[Based on 1 Corinthians 1:21-25, Revelation 21:18] Some say this life 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 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
