Song Lyrics

"You Can t Take it With You"

by Don Francisco
Album: The Traveler

Once there was a rich man
Who hoarded all his goods
Spent his money on himself
Didn't do the things he should
But one night Death knocked on his door
And called him on his bet
And all that money stayed behind
He'd worked so hard to get

And when Jesus met a rich young man
Who asked him what to do
So he could have eternal life
Jesus told him true
He said give the poor all that you have
And come and follow me
And you'll have a heavenly bank account
And live eternally

You can't take it with ya
You can't take it with ya
You can't take it with ya
Take it with ya when you're dead

You can't take it with ya
You can't take it with ya
You can't take it with ya
You gotta send it on ahead

There's no one whose left his house
His money or his lands
For the sake of Jesus
And the cross that he demands

And there's no one for Jesus sake
who's left family or wife
Who won't receive a hundred-fold
And joy through all his life

You can take that with you
You can take that with you
You can take your joy on with you
take it with you when you're dead

You can take it with ya
Your joy can sure go with ya
You can take it right on with ya
take it with you when you're dead

You can take it with ya
Yeah, you can take it with ya
If you live like Jesus said....
