[Verse 1]

People steal, 

they cheat and

 lie

For wealth and

 what it will 

buy
             
Don't they kno

              
w on the judge

     
ment day
              
That gold and 

             
silver will me

    
lt away


[Verse 2]

I'd rather be 

in a dark hole

 grave

And know that 

my poor soul w

as saved
              
Than to live i

             
n this world i

             
n a house of g

old
             
And deny my Go

              
d and doom my 


soul


[Verse 3]

Jesus said, co

I'll break sin

's chains and 

set you free
              
I'll carry you

             
 to a home on 


high
             
Where you'll n

I'd rather be

And know that 

my poor soul w

Than to live i

[Verse 4]

Jesus died the

So this world
