You Can't Buy Salvation
by Three Crosses

Album: Three Crosses

She goes to church on Sunday
She knows everybody there
She buys pictures of saints and Jesus
That she keeps beside her bed
She clutches the beads of her rosery
She asks God for a favor and then
She throws her money in the basket
To pay for all her prayers

But you can't buy salvation
And there ain't no road to heaven
Paved with gold
No, you can't buy salvation
God's asking price is simple
Just believe in His soul

He spends his time at the corner bar
Each night when his work is done
His wife's denial comes when her children ask
"Is daddy coming home?"
She says he still provides for the family
And he's there when Sunday comes
To throw his money in the basket
To pay the Lord for love

But you can't buy salvation
And there ain't no road to heaven
Paved with gold
No, you can't buy salvation
Well, God's asking price is simple
Just believe in His soul

Have we grown so numb
That we've forgotten why we give
God doesn't need your money
But if God were here
He'd ask you to share
With your less fortunate brother
He'd ask you to give
And get nothing in return
If God was standing here before us
Would you refuse the Lord
Could you refuse the Lord
I think so

No, you can't buy salvation
And there ain't no road to heaven
Paved with gold
No, you can't buy salvation
God's asking price is simple
His asking price is simple
God's asking price is simple
Just believe in His soul
