I
I THOUGHT THAT I HAD DIED AN GONE TO HEAVEN,
I WAS STANDING JUST OUTSIDE THE GATE.
THE MAN FROM WITHIN SAID HAVE YOU BEEN BORN AGAIN,
IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
CHORUS
PLEASE SEARCH THE BOOK AGAIN,
I THOUGHT MY NAME WAS THERE.
I WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY,
THOUGH I NEVER KNELT IN PRAYER,
PLEASE SEARCH THE BOOK AGAIN.
BEFORE YOU MAKE ME GO.
II
I TOLD HIM OF THE DEEDS I HAD DONE,
I TOLD HIM OF THE TROPHIES I HAD WON .
THEN THE MAN SAID TO ME,
SON HAVE YOU BEEN SET FREE.
IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
III
AND THEN HE TURNED AND LEFT ME,
STANDING THERE I KNEW IT WAS TWO LATE KNOW FOR PRAYER
SO MY SINNER FRIEND IF YOU WILL ENTER IN
YOUR NAME MUST BE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
