[Verse 1]
   D                     Em  D/F# G
A rich young man came to ask of   Christ:

                        A    D
'Good teacher, will You tell me,

                    Em D/F# G
What must I do for eternal  life?

                       A    D
I've kept Your laws completely.'

      G       D/F#       Em7    A
'Sell all you have, give to the poor,

     G        D/F#     Em7      A       Bm/A   A7
Then heaven's treasure shall be yours.'

    D                      Em  D/F# G
How hard for those who are rich on earth

                      A  D
To gain the wealth of heaven.
Em D/F# G A D [Verse 2]
    D                Em   D/F#  G
Now Jesus sat by the offering  gate

                        A D
As people brought their money:

                            Em D/F# G
The rich they filled the collection plate;

                 A  D
The widow gave a penny.

     G        D/F#  Em7     A
'Now she's outgiven all the rest -

    G        D/F#     Em7    A        Bm/A  A7
Her gift was all that she possessed.'

     D                Em   D/F# G
Not what you give but what you keep

                    A   D
Is what the King is counting.
[Instrumental] D G A D D G A Bm Bm Em F#m Bm Bm C G D C D [Verse 3]
  D                Em   D/F# G
O teach me Lord to walk this road,

                   A  D
The road of simple living;

                   Em  D/F# G
To be content with what I   own

                A D
And generous in giving.

    G      D/F#     Em7
And when I cling to what I have

       G        D/F#    Em7     A     Bm/A   A7
Please wrest it quickly from my grasp;

    D                   Em    D/F# G
I'd rather lose all the things of earth

                      A  D
To gain the things of heaven.
