“Fool for Jesus”

Written by Cathy Smith

I TELL THE FOLKS AT WORK ABOUT MY SAVIOR,

I DESCRIBE THE MILLION WAYS HE’S SET ME FREE.

IN THEIR EYES I SEE THEY THINK I’M TALKING NONSENSE,

THEN I INVITE THEM, “COME AND BE A FOOL WITH ME”.

CHORUS

WHAT A FOOL I AM FOR JESUS, MY REDEEMER

WHAT A FOOL I AM FOR HE’S MY CLOSEST FRIEND

JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD 

AND GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE ME FROM MY SIN.

WHAT A FOOL I’LL BE TILL JESUS COMES AGAIN

VS. 2

AT TIMES IT SEEMS THE NEIGHBORS THINK I’M CRAZY

ALL THE THINGS I DO AND MY PRIORITIES

IN ALL I DO I HOPE TO SPREAD HIS MESSAGE

SO, I ASK THEM, “WON’T YOU BE A FOOL WITH ME?”

CHORUS

WHAT A FOOL I AM FOR JESUS, MY REDEEMER

WHAT A FOOL I AM FOR HE’S MY CLOSEST FRIEND

JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD 

AND GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE ME FROM MY SIN.

WHAT A FOOL I’LL BE TILL JESUS COMES AGAIN

VS.3

I TELL MY FRIENDS THE LORD ONE DAY IS COMING,

THE DAY WILL COME WHEN THEY’LL BOW ON THEIR KNEES

SOMETIMES I THINK THEY LOOK AT ME WITH PITY,

AND I BEG THEM, “COME AND BE A FOOL WITH ME”.

CHORUS

WHAT A FOOL I AM FOR JESUS, MY REDEEMER

WHAT A FOOL I AM FOR HE’S MY CLOSEST FRIEND

JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD 

AND GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE ME FROM MY SIN.

WHAT A FOOL I’LL BE TILL JESUS COMES AGAIN

TAG

OH, I HOPE THAT ALL WILL JOIN ME 

AND LIVE WITH CHRIST ETERNALLY,

WHAT A FOOL I’LL BE TILL HE COMES BACK FOR ME.
