As they gambled for the robe He wore They chose a worldly trail Without thinking about eternity As the soldiers drove the nails Will we learn from what they've done Or make the same mistake? Me or the world, my child Which one will you take? I'll take Jesus, I'll take Jesus I've tried these worldly pleasures and they failed When you see the gates of Heaven You'll hear the Master say "Me or the world, my child?" Which one will you take? ♪ As the pages of my life have turned And time has rolled away You see, the greatest things that I have done They're not gonna matter on that day All my earthly treasures That I have laid away Listen, they're gonna be to me just a memory And this you'll hear me say I'll take Jesus, I'll take Jesus I've tried those worldly pleasures and they failed When you see the gates of Heaven You'll hear the Master say "Me or the world, my child?" Which one will you take? Me or the world, my child?" Which one will you take?
