You can't love your money and also love the Lord

I've tried before, I'll die before I'd 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 anyways

If no one's riding with me then I'll travel on my own

I'd rather lose the world before the world could gain my soul

I've tried to earn His love but I really dug a hole

The night got cold, a mortal soul can't bear 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 (ooh)

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 anyways

If no one's riding with me then I'll travel on my own

I'd rather lose the world before the world could 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 anyways

And 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 (mm)

When I die a beggar and I walk through heaven's doors

All the evils of this rotten 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
