| There once was a man born of high circumstance
|
| Heir to advantage, He had every chance to succeed
|
| But light from the cross made his dreams appear small
|
| And to their surprise he went far--from it all
|
| For the love of his Savior, for one priceless jewel
|
| They could not understand so they called him a fool
|
| He is no fool
|
| If he would choose
|
| To give the thing he cannot keep
|
| To buy what he can never lose
|
| To see a treasure in one soul
|
| That far outshines the brightest gold
|
| He is no fool, He is no fool
|
| He is no fool, He is no fool
|
| There once was a boy who could run like the wind
|
| Given to lead, every man was his friend at the line
|
| But light from the cross made his race appear small
|
| And to their amazement, he followed the call
|
| For the love of his Savior, for one priceless jewel
|
| They could not understand so they called him a fool
|
| Repeat Chorus
|
| Show me the fool who abandons his life
|
| To walk in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ
|
| Repeat Chorus |
