"Die A Beggar" lyrics

"Die A Beggar"

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
