Willie Nelson - House Of Gold lyrics

<b>House Of Gold</b> by <i>Willie Nelson</i><br />

People steal, they cheat and lie

For wealth and what it will buy

Don't they know on the judgement 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
