Patty Griffin - House Of Gold lyrics

People steal, they cheat and lie For wealth and what it will buy Don't they know on the judgment day That their 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 Jesus said, come on to me I'll break sin's chains and set you free I'll carry you to a home on high Where you'll never, never die What good is gold and silver, too When your heart's not good and true Sinner hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray Jesus died there on the cross So this world would not be lost Sinner hear now what I say For someday you'll have to pay 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
