TREASURES THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY
Intro:
1st VERSE:
A D
While driving one day through the quiet country side.
E D A
An old man was walking, so I offered a ride.
A D
His face was all wrinkled, his hair turned to gray
A E A
And these are the words - that he had to say.
2nd VERSE:
A D
I may look like a beggar but I'm rich as a king.
E D A
What I have in my heart gives me reason to sing.
A D
I will join there with Jesus so why should I sigh.
A E A
For these are the treasures that money can't buy
CHORUS:
E D A
Money is worthless when a soul is at stake
E D E
If gold bought redemption, how much would it take.
A D
But He loved me and saved me and I can't explain why.
A D A
And these are the treasures, these are the treasures,
E A
that money can't buy.
Instrumental break -
3rdVERSE:
So if you look at my garments and you notice they're torn.
Well I've a new Royal Garment that's never been worn.
And the cabin I live in is home till I die.
But I've a mansion in glory that money can't buy.
CHORUS:
ENDING:
A D
Yes He loved me and saved me and I can't explain why.
A D A
And these are the treasures, these are the treasures,
E A
that money can't buy.
