Josiah Queen - Die A Beggar Lyrics

You can't love your money And also love the Lord, I've tried before And I'd die before I try again You can't gain fame And it ever satisfy, I've done and tried It numbed me right down to my bones

It's impossible It's impossible

I would rather die a beggar Than to beg at Heaven's gates Pack the car and burn the bridges I didn't need 'em anyway If no one's riding with me Then I'll travel on my own I'd rather lose the world before the world Can gain my soul

I've tried to earn His love But I really dug a hole, then I got cold A mortal soul can't bare that cross My hands are red And I am guilty of a multitude of sins Without the cover of His blood

It's impossible It's impossible

I would rather die a beggar Than to beg at Heaven's gates Pack the car and burn the bridges I didn't need 'em anyway If no one's riding with me Then I'll travel on my own I'd rather lose the world before the world Can gain my soul

It's impossible To gain the world And have your soul

I would rather die a beggar Than to beg at Heaven's gates Pack the car and burn the bridges I didn't need 'em anyway If no one's riding with me Then I'll travel on my own I'd rather lose the world before the world Can gain my soul

When I die a beggar And I walk through Heaven's doors All the evils of this rotting world Traded for a home You can go there with me And you'll never be alone You gotta lose the world before the world Can gain your soul
