THERE’LL BE NO MARBLE PLAQUES TO TELL OF MY GOOD DEEDS

THERE’S A RECORD BOOK MY NAME IS WRITTEN IN
IT WAS RECORDED THERE WHEN I WAS BORN AGAIN
NO ONE CAN BLOT IT OUT, IT’S SEALED FOREVER MORE
IT’S IN THAT BOOK OF LIFE KEPT BY MY LORD
FOR EVERY DEED I DO, FOR EVERY WORD I SAY
THERE IS A RECORD KEPT UNTIL THE JUDGMENT DAY
MY NAME WILL NOT BE LOST, MISPLACED, OR OVERLOOKED
IT’S KEPT SAFELY IN GOD’S RECORD BOOK
