FOOL'S GOLD
Words by Bob Hartman of PETRA
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

About Me:
Country:
United States
Occupation:
Spreading the GOOD NEWS of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST!
Interests:
Proclaiming the name & true message of Jesus Christ! "If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory & of God resteth upon you. . .if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf" (1 Peter 4:14,16). 'Whosoever shall be ashamed of me & of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, & in his Father's, & of the holy angels" (St. Luke 9:26).
Movies:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE PASSION, All of Jim Varney's EARNEST movies. Jim Varney was a born-again Christian who brought joy to the hearts & souls of many with his special talent of making people laugh. With his warm heart & gentle nature, he inspired many hospitalized & terminally ill children with personal visits to them. I miss him but thank God that he shared his talents & humor with us all. See you in Heaven, Jim.
Music:
Mostly, 80s & 90s. ANYTHING CHRISTIAN. Grew up listening to Petra, Stryper, Whitecross, Bloodgood, Barren Cross, Holy Soldier, & Carman. Along the way added DC Talk, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, Skillet, P.O.D., Casting Crowns, Phillips Craig & Dean, Kutless, & Lecrae. Also a big fan of U2, Extreme, & Creed, bands which use a lot of Christian imagery in their music. Loved Michael Jackson who tried to spread love & peace to the world. We must always remember that it is only by the grace of God through the power of the blood of Jesus that any of us are saved and by His stripes we are healed. Jesus, we are watching & waiting for your swift return to Rapture us out of these times of trouble. Without GOD, we are ONE NATION UNDER! Let the "sleeping giant" (the Church) arise!!!
