Wealth Won't Save Your Soul lyrics

Lyrics

(E) as we journey along, on (a) life's wicked (e) road
So selfish are we, for silver and (b7) gold
You can (e) treasure your wealth, your (a) diamonds and (e) gold
But my friends it won't save, your (b7) poor wicked (e) soul

For when god calls, from his home up on high
To your earthly wealth, you must say goodbye
Then it's useless to you, if you've strayed from the fold
For my friend it won't save your poor wicked soul

The rich man like all, will be judged at that time
But all of his wealth, will be left behind
For no matter how much earthly wealth you get hold
Well my friend it won't save, your poor wicked soul

This verse on demo record only * * * * *

When the world is on fire, on that judgement day
For all of our wrongs, then we must pay
But the debt can't be paid, with silver and gold
No friends it won't save, your poor wicked soul
