We love you cuz You first loved us. We hunger and thirst for Your touch. We come from dust but it's You we trust. You died the just for the unjust, but we threw You under the bus. Traded love for lust. Lady Justice has been corrupted. Traded truth for a fake gold nugget. If truth be told, we tried to fill that hole with pills and thrills and rock n roll. We're losing hold. The fruit we stole we traded in for fool's gold. Filthy and jaded, guilty and naked. God we can't make it on our own. My faith was shaken. I felt forsaken. I was a long, long ways from home. You're the Potter and we are the clay. Heavenly Father, you're acquainted with all of our ways. You saved my soul. Broke my chains on the rock. Hope my name's on the roll. You paid my toll. Said to ask and knock, seek and I'd find that pot of gold. If truth be told... It ain't no joke. I'd given up hope, then I gave You full control. You made me whole. Saw me as a diamond in the rough when I was just a lump of coal. If truth be told, we tried to fill that hole with pills and thrills and rock n roll. We're losin' hope. The fruit we stole we traded in for fool's gold. So make me bold. Sin has taken it's toll. But He claimed victory on the rock when they rolled away the stone. Yeah, my feet are planted on the rock and my name is written on the roll. So don't lose hope. He threw me a rope. Ain't no joke. It's a slippery slope. Don't sell your soul... for fool's gold. For fool's gold.
