Jesus said son you got a choice to make
Riches or the love how much can you take
To help all the broken the hurt and the poor
Give away your treasures let your heart soar
Young man he stood with doubt in his eyes
Couldn't part with wealth couldn't cut the ties
Money gave him comfort kept the fear at bay
But giving it all up he just couldn't sway
Let go of gold and find your soul
Weigh the love that's worth more than coal
Free yourself from the chains unseen
Find true wealth in a heart that's clean
Left with sadness the tears in his eyes
Couldn't fathom living a life without ties
Jesus watched him leave with a heavy sigh
Knowing the young man chose the lie
Coins and jewels they sparkle and gleam
But they'll never love you or hold your dream
Give up the riches find joy in the light
Make every day a love-filled fight
Let go of gold and find your soul
Weigh the love that's worth more than coal
Free yourself from the chains unseen
Find true wealth in a heart that's clean
