I Care Not For Riches

Charles Price Jones • English

Verse 1

I care not for riches, I care not for fame, I only want Jesus to save me, My soul is covered with darkness and shame, I only want Jesus to save me.

I know I deserve but to die, The vilest of sinners am I, But the gospel I've heard, And I'll hope in God's Word, And seek for a mansion on high.

Verse 2

No more will I walk in sin's broad beaten path, I only want Jesus to save me, My soul claims the promise of peace thro' the blood, I only want Jesus to save me.

Chorus

I know I deserve but to die, The vilest of sinners am I, But the gospel I've heard, And I'll hope in God's Word, And seek for a mansion on high.

Verse 3

The burden of sin is removed, praise the Lord, I know that my Saviour has saved me, I'm justified freely by faith in His Word, I know that my Saviour has saved me.

Chorus

I know I deserve but to die, The vilest of sinners am I, But the gospel I've heard, And I'll hope in God's Word, And seek for a mansion on high.

Salvation and honor to Jesus my King, I know now that Jesus has saved me, His Spirit has taught me to trust and to sing, I know now that Jesus has saved me.

Chorus

I know I deserve but to die, The vilest of sinners am I, But the gospel I've heard, And I'll hope in God's Word, And seek for a mansion on high.

Verse 5

He bore all my sins in Himself on the tree, I know now that Jesus has saved me, And now by believing my soul is made free, I know now that Jesus has saved me.

Chorus

I know I deserve but to die, The vilest of sinners am I, But the gospel I've heard, And I'll hope in God's Word, And seek for a mansion on high.
