People steal they cheat and lie

For wealth and what it will buy

But don't they know on the Judgement Day

That gold and silver will melt away.



I'd rather be in a deep dark grave

And know that my poor soul was saved

Than to live in this world in a house of gold

And deny my God and doom my soul.



What good is gold and silver too

If your heart's not pure and true

Sinner hear me when I say

Fall down on your knees and pray.



I'd rather be in a deep dark grave

And know that my poor soul was saved

Than to live in this world in a house of gold

And deny my God and doom my soul
