House Of Gold

Mark Lowry


Tom: F

F                  Bb    F
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave

And know that my poor soul was saved
                      Bb                 F
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
           C Db7 C7          F
And deny my God and lose my soul

[Verse 1]
       F           Bb         F
People steal, they cheat, and lie

For wealth and what it will buy
            Bb                  F
Don't they know on the judgment day
                    C Db7 C7         F
That their gold and silver will melt away

[Chorus]
F                  Bb    F
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave

And know that my poor soul was saved
                      Bb                 F
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
           C Db7 C7          F
And deny my God and lose my soul

[Verse 2]
              F       Bb      F
What good is gold and silver, too

When your heart's not good and true
         Bb             F
O Sinner hear me when I say
          C C7               F
Fall down on your knees and pray

[Chorus]
F                  Bb    F
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave

And know that my poor soul was saved
                      Bb                 F
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
           C Db7 C7          F
And deny my God and lose my soul
