Please Search The Book Again
Composer(s): Jerry Goff

I dreamed that I had died and gone to heaven
I stood just outside the eastern gate
The Man from within said, "Have you been born again
And 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, tho' I never knelt in prayer
Please search the book again; it's too late now, I know
Please search the book again before you make me go!

I told Him all the deeds that I had done
I told Him all the trophies I had won
But the Man said to me, "Have you been set free
And is your name written in the Book of Life?"

Chorus

And then He turned and left me standing there
I knew it was too late now for prayer
Oh, my sinner friend, if you want to make it in
Your name must be in the Book of Life

Chorus
