A certain
man of whom we read,
Who lived
in days of old,
Though he
was rich, he felt his need
Of
something more than gold.
Chorus:
Oh, yes,
oh, yes, there’s something more,
Something
more than gold:
To know
your sins are all forgiven
Is
something more than gold.
It
happened on a certain day,
This
little man was told
That Jesus
soon would pass that way
With
something more than gold.
He climbed
a tree above the crowd,
So that he
might behold
That
blessed One with power to give
Him
something more than gold.
The Savior
came along the way
And saw
him in the tree;
Then
calling to him, Jesus said,
“I must
abide with thee.”
So he
obeyed, and soon he found
The half
had not been told;
The
blessing Jesus brought to him
Was better far than gold.
