He Is No Fool

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 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 Show me the fool who abandons his life To walk in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ 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 He is no fool, he is no fool
