Patty Griffin - House Of Gold lyrics

rate me

<br>

(Hank Williams)<br>

<br>

People steal, they cheat and lie<br>

For wealth and what it will buy<br>

Don't they know on the judgement day<br>

That their gold and silver will melt away<br>

<br>

I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave<br>

And know that my poor soul was saved<br>

Than to live in this world in a house of gold<br>

And deny my God and doom my soul<br>

<br>

Jesus said, come on to me<br>

I’ll break sin’s chains and set you free<br>

I?ll carry you to a home on high<br>

Where you?ll never, never die<br>

<br>

What good is gold and silver, too<br>

When your heart's not good and true<br>

Sinner hear me when I say<br>

Fall down on your knees and pray<br>

<br>

Jesus died there on the cross<br>

So this world would not be lost<br>

Sinner hear now what I say<br>

For someday you'll have to pay<br>

<br>

What good is gold and silver too<br>

If your heart’s not good and true<br>

Sinner, hear me when I say<br>

Fall down on your knees and pray<br>

<br>
