[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][F#m][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
A [D]rich young
man came to ask of [G]Christ
"Good teacher, will you tell [D]me
What must I do for [G]eternal life?
I've kept your laws completely."
[D]"Sell all[G] you hav[D]e, give to [Em]the poor[A],
Then [G]heaven's [D]treasure
[Em]shall be [A]yours."
How [D]hard for those [G]who are rich on earth
To gain the wealth of heav
[D]en.
[A][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[A][D]
Now Jesus sat by the [Em]off'ring [G]gate
As people brought [D]their money:
The rich they filled the [G]collection plate;
The widow gave [A]a penny.[D]
"Now [G]she's [D]out[Em]given all the res[A]t -
Her [G]gift was [D]all that [Em]she poss[A]essed."

[Verse 3]
Not [D]what you give but [A]what [G]you keep

[Verse 4]
Is [G]what the King is count[D]ing.
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
O teach me Lord to walk [G]this road,
The road [D]of simple living;
To be content with [A]what I [G]own
And generous in giv[D]ing.
And [G]when I [D]cling to [Em]what I [A]have
Please [G]wrest it [D]quickly [Em]from my [A]grasp
I'd [D]rather lose all the things of [G]earth
To gain the things of heav[D]en

[Verse 6]
O [D]teach me Lord to walk this [G]road,
The road [D]of simple living;
To be content with what [G]I own
And generous in giv[D]ing.
And [G]when I [D]cling to [Em]what I [A]have
Please [G]wrest it [D]quickly [Em]from my [A]grasp
I'd [D]rather lose all the things of [G]earth
To gain the things of heav[D]en
Yes I'd rather lose all the things of [G]earth
To gain the things of [A]heav[D] en
