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 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
My friend it won't save
Your poor wicked soul
My friend it won't save
Your poor wicked soul
