PLEASE SEARCH THE BOOK AGAIN
(By Jerry Goff, 1975)

1.
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!

2.
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

3.
And then He turned and left me satnding 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

(From: Gospel's Best ~ Words and Music, Hal Leonard, p. 224)
