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
