Mike Ness – House Of Gold


People steal they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don’t they know on judgment day
That gold and silver will melt away

I’d rather be in a deep dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Then to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and do my soul

What good is gold and silver too
If your hearts not good and true
Consider it when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray

I’d rather be in a deep dark rain
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and do my soul

  1. Great song!
    Just like Moses.

    “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
    Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

    Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

    By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.”
    Hebrews 11:24-27

  2. Thanks Katie…..

    I just can’t seem to get that little bit of that christian baptized roman catholic out of me.

    Even though I don’t believe in religions and I’m not an atheist.

    There definately is some truth in the lyrics that people …..steal, cheat and lie.

    Something that I think true christians do not partake in.
