[Intro]
G
I dreamed that I had died and gone to heaven,
C G
I stood just outside the eastern gate;
D G
And the Man from within said, "Have you been born again,
A D
Is your name written in the Book of Life?"
[Chorus]
C G
Please search the book again; I thought my name was there!
D G
I went to church on Sunday, tho' I never knelt in prayer;
C G
Please search the book again; it's too late now, I know,
D C G
Please search the book again before you make me go!
G
Then I told Him all the deeds that I had done,
C G
I showed Him all the trophies that I had won;
D G
But the Man said to me, "Sir have you been set free,
A D
Is your name written in the Book of Life?"
[Chorus]
G
Then He turned and left me standing there,
C G
I knew it was too late now for prayer.
D G
Oh, my sinner friend, if you want to make it in,
A D
Then your name must be in the Book of Life.
[Outro]
