{c: Verse 1}
A [D]rich young man came to [Em]ask [D/F#]of [G]Christ:
"Good teacher will You [A]tell [D]me
What must I do for e[Em]te[D/F#]rnal [G]life?
I've kept Your laws com[A]plete[D]ly."
"Sell [G]all you [D/F#]have give [Em7]to the[A] poor;
Then hea[G]ven's [D/F#]treasure [Em7]shall be [A]yours." [Bm/A] [A7]
How [D]hard for those who are [Em]rich [D/F#]on [G]earth
To gain the wealth of [A]heav[D]en.

{c: Verse 2}
Now [D]Jesus sat by the [Em]of[D/F#]f'ring [G]gate
As people brought their [A]mon[D]ey:
The rich they filled the col[Em]lec[D/F#]tion [G]plate;
The widow gave a [A]pen[D]ny.
"Now [G]she's out-[D/F#]given [Em7]all the [A]rest --
Her [G]gift was [D/F#]all that [Em7]she pos[A]sessed." [Bm/A] [A7]
Not [D]what you give but [Em]what [D/F#]you [G]keep
Is what the King is [A]count[D]ing.

{c: Verse 3}
O [D]teach me Lord to [Em]walk [D/F#]this [G]road,
The road of simple [A]liv[D]ing;
To be content with [Em]what [D/F#]I [G]own
And generous in [A]giv[D]ing
And [G]when I [D/F#]cling to [Em7]what I [A]have
Please [G]wrest it [D/F#]quickly [Em7]from my [A]grasp; [Bm/A] [A7]
I'd [D]rather lose all the [Em]things [D/F#]of [G]earth
To gain the things of [A]heav[D]en.

{c: Ending}
Yes I'd [D]rather lose all the [Em]things [D/F#]of [G]earth
To gain the things of [A]heav[D]en.
