David Olney - Lay Down Your Kingdom lyrics

The truest heart will not be tempted With bright silver or shining gold For all your wealth she'd not speak falsely And all your power cannot hold Lay down your kingdom lay down Lay down your kingdom lay down Her face is fair to those who know her The rest are blind, they cannot see And in her eyes you see forever Endless joy and misery Lay down your kingdom lay down Lay down your kingdom lay down Some men gamble for their pleasure Some men gamble for their greed I will gamble for her favor I will gamble out of need Lay down your kingdom lay down Lay down your kingdom lay down Here's to our Lady of Good Fortune Deliver me from an evil hand Here's to the one who plays against me Be he spirit or be he man Lay down your kingdom lay down Lay down your kingdom lay down Lay down your kingdom lay down Lay down your kingdom lay down
