  			        D           G        D 
People steal they cheat and lie 
                               D7 
For wealth and what it will buy  
                G                D 
But don't they know on judgement day 
               A                D  
That gold and silver will melt away  
  
 
           D        G         D 
I'd rather be in a deep dark grave  
                                  D7 
And know that my poor soul was saved  
                   G                   D  
Than to live in a world in a house of gold  
             A               D 
And deny my God and doom my soul  
  
        D              G      D  
What good is gold and silver too  
                                D7 
If your heart's not pure and true   
          G               D 
Oh sinner hear me when I say  
           A                   D  
Fall down upon your knees and pray  
  
repeat chorus
