He Is No Fool

Mt Carmel BP Church's musical
Love Above All, July 2007

He is no fool, who gives what he cannot keep
To gain what he cannot lose.
He is no fool, he is no fool,
Who gives what he can never keep.
He is no fool, he is no fool,
Who gains what he can never lose.

What if I gain the world and all that it’s worth,
And lose my soul in exchange?
I’d be a fool to lose it all,
For what will soon pass away.
I have one life, one life to live,
So help me, Lord, to wisely choose.

He was no fool, who gave His life on the cross,
Who died the world to redeem.
He paid my debt and set me free,
And now I am no more my own.
No greater love could claim my life,
To give my all I gladly choose.

For what shall it profit a man,
If he shall gain the whole world
And lose his own soul?
Though the cross seemed foolishness,
And its way the path of shame,

I’ll take my place with Christ
And proudly bear His name!
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep
To gain what he cannot lose.
No greater love could claim my life,
To give my all I gladly choose.
No greater love could claim my life,
To give my all I gladly choose.


was listening to this song several times today,
and i realised the lyrics contained
the verse that Ian preached about today.

Mar 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Mar 8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
enjoy! :)
hope this song touches your heart. :)
