House of Gold
Eternal Choices: Beyond Gold, Finding Salvation
Lyrics
People steal, they cheat and lie
People engage in dishonesty and deceit.
For wealth and what it will buy
Driven by the desire for wealth and material possessions.
Don't they know on the judgment day
Reflecting on the consequences on judgment day.
That their gold and silver will melt away
Emphasizing the transient nature of material wealth.
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
Expressing a preference for spiritual fulfillment over material success.
And know that my poor soul was saved
Choosing a humble existence with the assurance of salvation.
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
Criticizing the pursuit of wealth at the expense of spiritual values.
And deny my God and doom my soul
Rejecting a life in opulence that denies faith and jeopardizes the soul.
Jesus said, come on to me
Quoting Jesus, inviting individuals to seek liberation from sin.
I'll break sin's chains and set you free
Promising freedom from the chains of sin through acceptance of Jesus.
I'll carry you to a home on high
Promising a heavenly abode where immortality prevails.
Where you'll never, never die
Emphasizing eternal life in the promised home.
What good is gold and silver, too
Questioning the value of material wealth without moral integrity.
When your heart's not good and true
Stressing the importance of a good and true heart over riches.
Sinner hear me when I say
Addressing sinners, urging them to repent through prayer.
Fall down on your knees and pray
Calling sinners to humble themselves and seek redemption.
Jesus died there on the cross
Referencing Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for the salvation of humanity.
So this world would not be lost
Highlighting the significance of Jesus' sacrifice in preventing the world's loss.
Sinner hear now what I say
Addressing sinners again, emphasizing the importance of the message.
For someday you'll have to pay
Warning sinners about the inevitable consequences they'll face.
What good is gold and silver too
Reiterating the insignificance of material wealth without moral goodness.
If your heart's not good and true
Echoing the theme of a virtuous heart being more valuable than riches.
Sinner, hear me when I say
Addressing sinners once more, urging them to repent through prayer.
Fall down on your knees and pray
Reiterating the call for sinners to humble themselves and seek divine guidance.
