People steal they cheat they lie for wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the Judgement Day all the 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
Oh I'd rather be in a deep dark grave
Than to live in this world in a house of gold and deny my God and doom my soul
