House Of Gold

(Album: Gospel Favorites - 1995)

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 to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God, and doom my soul

Jesus died there upon the cross
So this whole world would not be lost
Sinner, hear now what I say
Or 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 start to pray

I'd rather be in a cold 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
And deny my God, and doom my soul
