Lyrics for House of Gold

People cheat, they steal and lie For wealth and what it will buy But don't they know on Judgment Day That gold and silver will melt away I'd rather be in a deep dark grave And to 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 What good is gold and silver too If your heart's not pure and true? Sinners hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray
