[VERSE 1]
On the mountain of temptation
That ‘ole tempter tried his best
To twist the words of Jesus
And put him to the test
The devil offered up a kingdom
While trying to make his stand
(But) That liar found out quickly
He’d overplayed his hand… ‘Cause
[CHORUS]
He offers fool’s gold
But it’s a pack of lies
(And) If the truth be told
Our treasure’s found in Christ
We find our worth and hope
In Him and Him alone
So tell the devil his account’s been closed
‘Cause he offers fool’s gold
[VERSE 2]
Oh that devil’s every promise
Takes you down a broken road
You can’t trust a word he’s sayin’
He’s only blowin’ smoke
So don’t fall for what He’s selling
Just know beyond a doubt
That even if it glitters
It never will pan out… ‘Cause
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
Ahh, he’s clever, that sly old fox
He thinks he’s calling the shots
But he’s a counterfeit, and I’m telling him
This is where it stops…cause
[CHORUS]
