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



Chorus

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
