As we journey along on life's wicked road
So selfish are we for silver and gold
You can treasure your wealth, your diamonds and gold
But my friends it won't save your poor wicked soul.

For when God calls from his home upon high
To your earthly wealth you must say goodbye
Then it's useless to you if you're trayed from the fold
For my friends it won't save your poor wicked soul.


The rich man like Paul will be judged at that time
But all of his wealth will be left behind
For no matter how much earthly wealth your dear hold
My friends it won't save your poor wicked soul.

My friends it won't save your poor wicked soul...
