Petra - Fool's Gold lyrics

Words by Bob Hartman

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

(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
