[Intro]
High, low, rich and poor, listen, listen for
These words are wise, these thoughts are filled with insight
Listen, all who have an ear, listen close and you will hear
A proverb and it's wisdom
A riddle and it's question here answered

[Verse 1]
Listen those who trust their wealth
Those who boast by riches led
Still they can't redeem themselves from death
What ransom can you pay then unto God?

[Verse 2]
See, even wise men die
Fools and senseless then alike
Leaving all their wealth behind in death
What ransom can you pay then unto God?

[Chorus]
As sheep appointed for Sheol
With death as their shepherd
The upright will rule over them
As sheep appointed for Sheol
With death as their shepherd
The upright will rule over them
[Verse 3]
Don't be afraid when men grow rich
Their homes in glory stand splendid
They take nothing along with them in death
What ransom can you pay then unto God?

[Chorus]
As sheep appointed for Sheol
With death as their shepherd
The upright will rule over them
As sheep appointed for Sheol
With death as their shepherd
The upright will rule over them
As sheep appointed for Sheol
With death as their shepherd
The upright will rule over them

[Outro]
What ransom can you pay then unto God? (What ransom can you pay then unto God?)
What ransom can you pay then unto God? (What ransom can you pay then unto God?)
What ransom can you pay then unto God?
