House of Gold People steal, they cheat and lie For wealth and what it will buy Don't they know on the judgement day 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 lose my soul What good is gold and silver, too If your heart's not good and true Sinner hear me when I say Fall down upon your knees and pray 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 lose my soul
