What Would You Give In Exchange for Your Soul

Jim,

—Monroe Brothers

Brother afar from The Savior today
Risking your soul for the things that decay
Oh, if today God should call you away
What would you give in exchange for your soul?

Chorus:
What would you give (in exchange)
What would you give (in exchange)
What would you give in exchange for your soul
Oh, if today God should call you away
What would you give in exchange for your soul?

Mercy is calling you, won't you give heed?
Must the Dear Savior still tenderly plead?
Risk not your soul, it is precious indeed
What would you give in exchange for your soul?

Chorus

More than the silver and gold of this Earth
More than all jewels the spirit is worth
God The Creator has given it birth
What would you give in exchange for your soul?

Chorus

What Would You Give In Exchange for Your Soul, Part 2

—Monroe Brothers
Oh weary soul, there's coming a day
Oh weary soul then what will you say
The trumpet will sound, all hasten my friend
So what will you give for your soul in the end

Chorus:
What will you give (what will you give ) for your soul in the end
What will you give (what will you give ) for your soul in the end
The trumpet will sound, all hasten my friend
So what will you give for your soul in the end

Oh weary soul, the one who survived
For you and for me He suffered and died
He will return for judgement my friend
So what will you give for your soul in the end

Chorus

Some day the gate will swing open wide
Oh weary soul will you meet me inside
Silver and gold won't buy your way in
So what will you give for your soul in the end

Chorus

What Would You Give in Exchange for Your Soul, Part 3

—Bill Monroe/Monroe Brothers

I wandered apart from my Savior my King
And I have no one on which I can lean
I came my poor soul for pleasure and joy
And now I'm alone, a poor wayward boy

Chorus:
What can I give (in exchange), what can I give (in exchange)
What can I give in exchange for my soul
If I possessed all silver and gold
I'd give it all up in exchange for my soul

Dear mother prayed in the past days of old
For me to reform for the sake of my soul
Raging (wagering?) and gambling for silver and gold
I accepted the pleasure of life for my soul

Jesus our Savior on the cross long ago
Suffered and died for his loved ones below
Please don't reject what is (safe?) and behold
Accept not one thing in exchange for your soul
