Can anyone share the lyrics and music to The Insurance Song? I believe it was written in the 1930s or 1940s.

Are you referring to Insured Beyond The Grave?

That sounds like it could be the one. Do you have it?

Just saw your post. Here is a copy of "Insurance Beyond the Grave" as I have it.

1. Now you can buy insurance plans to pay you when you're ill
And if your earthly home should burn a new one you could build
Insurance on your earthly wealth, your silver and your gold
But read God's book, don't overlook, insurance beyond the grave.

Cho. Insured beyond the grave protection on your soul
When this old house you're living in the hand of death will close
Your policy will pay your friends and cover you with clay
What have you got if you are not insured beyond the grave?

2. The precious Savior stands and waits and knocks upon your door
He'll enter in and set you free from sin for evermore
The only price you'll have to pay is humble words in prayer
Give up this world and all it's worth and be a millionaire

Hope that works for you. God Bless

My grandparents (pioneer pastors!) used to sing this often...can still hear them sing....I sang it at both their funerals...

However, the last line of verse one should read:

Just read God's book, don't overlook, insurance on your soul.

I first heard the song from Jimmy Dickens and loved it. Thanks for the lyrics

Wow. I have tried to remember that song for years. An elderly couple who were pastor at our church used to sing that song when I was a kid. I didn't think I would ever hear it again, but I got my guitar out and played it like I had heard it five minutes ago. I won't let that song die away again. You have certainly been a blessing today!! Thank you!!

My grandfather Charles Taylor wrote the song. Little Jimmy recorded it.
