This is the story of a brother
Who slept and woke up in forever land

He looked around nothing's familiar

He wondered how he got to be there

He took a walk around the city
And saw this brick house with a small door

Walked into the room and saw a man in white

Must be an angel,so he said.
Mr angel I'm a stranger don't know what's going on

The last thing I remembered was I slept last night

This is the border town that takes you where you get a crown

Must have heard of heaven where you came from

Only those whose name I find written in this book of life Will forever be in paradise

Flipping the pages of this great book
This brother gave a puzzled gaze

He saw the names of prophets,saints and marthys who kept the faith and won the race
But he said Mr angel! Where is my name
Can you tell me what is going on
I'm a pillar in my local church
Gave the offerings and the tithe
Feed the poor and have myself a good name

Is my name in this book of life

Tell me is my name in this book of life

Unforgiveness lurks within your heart
Some folks that you'll never let go
Little foxes and secret folks
Will spring surprises on that final day

So much for this wonder brother
What about you,what about me
Let him that thinks that he stands
Let him take heed lest he falls
Only the pure in heart will see Jesus
Those whose garments filled with purity

Is your name in that book of life
Is your name in that book of life
Is your name in that book of life
Tell me is your name in that book of life

Think about it.

I was nowhere near being shocked seff
