House Of Gold Lyrics - Downtown Church - Patty Griffin

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
