In the Bible we read how Lazarus was laid at the rich mans gate
Full of sores desiring the crumbs that fell from the rich mans plate
But when he died he was carried, by angels, to the bosom of Abraham
Allhough he was poor, in Heaven, I'm sure there's not a richer man
Cause it don't take this worlds possessions, no money did I have to pay
It just took the blood of God's only Son to wash all my sins away
And I don't have much longer to stay here, my race is almost run
And Lord you know I've seen better days, but the best is yet to come
My pockets aren't filled with money and I don't wear the latest styles
And the house where I live is old and run down, but that's alright it'll do for
Awhile
Cause soon I'll inherit a mansion where nothing will ever decay
And I'm gonna wear a white robe and a crown of glory that fadeth not away
Cause it don't take this worlds possessions, no money did I have to pay
It just took the blood of God's only Son to wash all my sins away
And I don't have much longer to stay here, my race is almost run
And Lord you know I've seen better days, but the best is yet to come
