My Book Of Life

There was a time, when all the world was young

When my heart first began, to beat with life anew

And through the eyes of my father's only son

I could see his light of love come shining through

There was a time, when all the world stood still

But for me my restless heart kept pounding like a drum

And in my youth, I would ramble over hills

Through fields of flowers I would run, laughing in the sun

And I would not, I could not, change a single line

Written in my book of life, once upon a time

And if God will grant me one request, I pray that it will be

To let His light of love shine on in me

There was a time, when all the world was new

When I held my newborn child, gently to my breast

And in my babies' eyes I saw a love so true

That I could not contain my happiness

But there was a time, when all the world was dark

Blackened by the sin and hatred found within man's heart

And through the hours of darkness, love hung upon that tree

And He gave His life as a sacrifice for those like you and me

And I would not, I could not, change a single line

Written in His book of life, once upon a time

And if God will grant me one request, I pray that it will be

To let His light of love shine on in me

There will come a time, when all the world is free

Free from sorrow, free from pain, free from tyranny

And when I see Him face to face, I'll fall down on my knees

And I'll thank Him for His saving grace that saved a wretch like me

There will come a time, when all the world is one

Then my heart will once again, beat with life anew

And in the eyes of my Father's only Son

I will see His light of love come shining through

And I would not, I could not, change a single line

Written in His book of life, once upon a time
And if God will grant me one request, I pray that it will be
To let His light of love shine on in me

God, let Your light of love shine on in me

Let Your light of love shine on

Let Your light of love keep shining

Let Your light of love shine on

Let Your light of love keep shining

Let Your light of love shine on in me
