Story behind the song
I wrote this during a time when I was really feeling to urge to read the Bible all the way through. I wrote the lyrics as I began reading the New Testament. After the lyrics were done, and I was continuing to read, I kept coming across verses in the Bible that seemed to relate exactly to what I had written, as if the words had come to me in some divine way.
Lyrics
Book of Life
I don't know too much about the word
But from what I've heard I want to know it better
I want to learn about the grace of God
For what He's done is beyond measure
I cannot comprehend the sacrifice
Of His Son's life for all creation
But I stand witness to the proof
Of the written truth
REFRAIN:
And I cannot deny the fact that I am given
The chance to live again
Forgiven for my sins
SECOND REFRAIN ENDING:
Freedom from all sins
CHORUS:
I believe the truth is there in black and white
There I see the difference in wrong and right
If you live by God's guiding light
You'll have everything you need ... in the Book of Life
SECOND CHORUS EXTENSION:
In the Book of Life, in the Book of Life
If you question this old world of ours
Then seek the powers of God to find your answer
Once you find it you'll know you're at home
A lone lamb that made its way to pasture
Feed your mind with words that feed your soul
That you might know our Holy Keeper, yeah
'Cause in the end it's down to you
And what you do
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE:
Tell me where I stand
Am I going to be all right
Am I in Your plan
Will I see eternal life, whoa yeah
[REFRAIN]
[CHORUS] REPEAT
