A House of Gold
Some people cheat, they steal and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on Judgment Day
All the gold and silver gonna melt away?
What good is gold and silver too?
When your heart is not pure and true
Sinner, hear me when I say
You better get down on your knees and pray
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 lose my soul
Some people cheat, they steal and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on Judgment Day
All the gold and silver gonna melt away?
Sinner, hear me when I say
You better get down on your knees and pray
Your knees and pray
