[Verse 1]
Don't wanna waste my life away
On things that are temporal
The human heart is led astray
By the shine on fools' gold
My life won't stand on sinking sand
So may I be the wise man
Who knows the true foundation is You
[Chorus]
What would I gain if
I had the whole world?
But I lost my soul
But I lost my soul
Riches and fame, yes
Power and progress
But I lost my soul
But I lost my, I lost my soul
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
La-la-la, lost my soul
[Verse 2]
This life is but a vapor
And [?] will waver
The only lasting treasure is You
[Bridge]
I have to lose my life to find it
Up to the point where I can truly say
To live is Christ, to die is gain
Kingdoms rise and fall before You
For all is Yours to give and take away
Unto myself, I labor in vain
[Chorus]
What would I gain if
I had the whole world?
But I lost my soul
But I lost my soul
Riches and fame, yes (Riches and fame)
Power and progress (Power and progress)
But I lost my soul (But I lost my soul)
But I lost my, I lost my soul
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah (La-la-la, lost my soul)
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
[Bridge]
(Ah, ah) I have to lose my life to find it
(Ah, ah) Up to the point where I can truly say
(Ah, ah) To live is Christ, to die is gain (Ah, ah)
To live is Christ, to die is gain
To live is Christ, to die is gain
