Letra y música por Bob Hartman

Referencia Biblica: 1 de Corintios 1:21-25, Apocalipsis 21:18

Some say this life I live 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

(Coro)

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

"Oro De Locos"

Algunos dicen que esta vida que vivo es una locura,

por no esperar ninguna recompensa de oro por mi fe.

Pero los tesoros de esta vida se convertirán en polvo

y este loco recibirá su recompensa de oro del Salvador en el que confió.

Oro de locos, me esta esperando una corona.

Oro de locos, en la ciudad que desciende.

Dejare el oro que no puedo tener,

por el premio mayor por el que lucho.

Predicare sobre la loca cruz de Cristo

y esperare mi recompensa...

El oro de los locos.

La sabiduría de la cruz es fácil de recibir.

Pero solo es locura para quienes no creen.

Pueden decir que soy un loco por la cruz que proclamo,

pero el oro que busco no se encuentra en la fama de esta tierra.

Cuando todas las coronas estén a sus pies,

el digno Cordero de Dios será el tesoro que guardemos.

Algunos pueden llamarme loco, otros me llamaran tonto,

pero prefiero ser loco a los ojos de los hombres

en vez de ser loco a los ojos de Dios.

Only one life will soon be passed - only what's done for Christ will last! We as Christians have this life on earth to lay up treasure in heaven. People who are sold out for Christ are often thought of as fools by the rest of the world... but some day we will be with our precious Savior in eternity. May we preach with passion and in the power of His Holy Spirit the true pure gospel that is the power of God for salvation to all who will believe on Him!

Great song uplifting

One of the deepest, most Bibical-based songs in CCM. Still, comes across as non-preachy. Harmonies are truly amazing.

Sounds a bit 80's, but powerful stuff! This world offers little in happiness, and nothing in the form of stability! I will stand on the Rock!

This band still holds it's appeal even after atheism. They are pretty good at invoking emotion.

I remember being teased in Jr. high about being a christian and how I was stupid for beliving in something that can't be seen. to which I replied "I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man than a fool in the eyes of God!" never made fun of me after that

eternity's a LONNNNNNNNG time.. that ought to scare the hell out of anyone! lol but seriously, if you ponder on a daily and nightly basis just HOW long eternity means, who on earth would want to be separated from the love of god? call me a fool, but i'm aiming for the prize.. :)

"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" I couldn't have said it better myself! Greetings from Norway!
