Wealth Won't Save Your Soul Lyrics - Make Do With What You Got - Solomon Burke

As we journey along 

On life? s wicked road 

So selfish are we 

For silver, platinum and gold 

You can treasure your wealth 

Your diamonds and your gold 

But my friend it won? t save 

It won? t save, your poor wicked soul 

For when God calls 

From his heavenly home on high 

To your earthly wealth 

Some how, no matter what you think 

You must say goodbye

Then it? s useless to you 

If you? ve strayed from the fold 

Just don't stray from the fold 

For my friend, it won? t save 

Oh, it won? t save your wicked soul 

The rich man like all, Oh Lord 

Will be judged at that time 

But all of his wealth 

Will be left behind 

For no matter how much 

Earthly wealth you get 

[Incomprehensible] 

Well, my friend it won? t save 

Won? t save your poor wicked soul
