Is my living in vain?
Is my giving in vain?
Is my praying in vain?
Is my fasting in vain?Am I wasting my time?
Can the clock be rewind?
Have I let my light shine?
Have I made ninety-nine?No, of course not
It's not all in vain
No, no Lord, no
'Cause up the road is eternal gainIs my praying in vain?
Is my labor in vain?
Is my singing in vain?
Is my speaking, is it in vain?Is my playing the organ in vain?
Is my praying in vain?
Is my, is my, is my labor in vain?
Is my singing, singing, singing, in vain?No, of course not

Up the road is eternal gainIs my praying in vain?
Is my, is my, is my labor in vain?
Is my singing, singing in vain?
I know I'm speaking in vainIs my playin' this organ in vain, at the temple
At the cathedral, at all these churches?
Is my praying, my praying, my praying, in vain? OohIs it in vain? Is it in vain?
