People steal they cheat and lie For wealth and what it will buy But don't they know on 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 a 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 Oh sinner hear me when I say Fall down upon your knees and pray repeat chorus
