🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 49:1–20)

Verse 1 (Psalm 49:1–6)

Hear this, all peoples near and far,

Listen close, no matter who you are.

Don’t be fooled by wealth and gain,

For riches cannot ease our pain.

Chorus (Psalm 49:7–9)

No one buys their way to life,

Gold cannot conquer death or strife.

But God redeems, He breaks the grave,

In Him alone, we find the brave.

Verse 2 (Psalm 49:10–14)

The wise may boast in wealth they hold,

But they cannot escape the cold.

Their houses may stand strong and tall,

Yet death will claim and silence all.

Bridge (Psalm 49:15)

But God will ransom, lift me high,

From death’s dark grip, beyond the sky.

In Him, my hope will always stay,

Forevermore, my guide and way.

Final Chorus (Lifted)

No one buys their way to life,

Gold cannot conquer death or strife.

But God redeems, He breaks the grave,

In Him alone, we find the brave.
