Only fools follow gold
Only wise men know
I'm no fool
You've changed my point of view

To be kind is a quality
I richly desire
It is better
To be poor than a liar

[chorus]
I no longer see things controlling me
You have spoken, I have listened
Only fools believe in only what they see
The wise are rich indeed

What a friend we have in Jesus
He hears all our cries
If you listen
You'll hear Him crying too

[chorus]
I no longer see things controlling me
You have spoken, I have listened
Only fools believe in only what they see
The wise are rich indeed

Only fools follow gold
Only wise men know
I'm no fool
You've changed my point of view

[chorus 2x]
I no longer see things controlling me
You have spoken, I have listened
Only fools believe in only what they see
The wise are rich indeed
