People steal, they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it can buy
Don't they know on Judgment Day
Gold and silver gonna 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
Deny my God and doom my soul

What good is gold and silver too
When your heart is not good and true?
Sinner, hear, hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray

Sinner, hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray

Sinner, hear, hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray
