People still they cheat and lie   For wealth and what it will buy   But don't they know on judgment 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   Then to live in this world in a house of gold   And deny my God and do my soul      What good is gold and silver too   If your hearts not good and true   Consider it when I say   Fall down on your knees and pray      I'd rather be in a deep dark rain   And know that my poor soul was saved   Than to live in this world in a house of gold   And deny my God and do my soul
