"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." --Jim Elliott from Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliott
|
|
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 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
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Bridge:
|
Show me the fool who abandons his life
|
To walk in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ
