A House Of Gold

People steal, they cheat and lie

For wealth and what it will buy

But don't they know on the 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

Than 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 good and true?

Sinner, hear me when I say

Fall down on your knees and pray

For I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave

And know that my poor soul was saved

Than live in this world in a house of gold

And deny my God and doom my soul
