A House of Gold

People steal, they cheat and lie

For wealth and what it will buy

Don't they know on the judgement day

That their 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 lose my soul.



What good is gold and silver, too

When your heart's not good and true

Sinner hear me when I say

Fall down on your knees and pray.



I'd rather be a deep, dark grave

And to 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.



And deny my God and doom my soul...
