LYRICS: BOOK OF LIFE BY NATHANIEL BASSEY


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
He 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 remember was I slept last night”
This is a 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

Is your name in this book of life?
Is your name in this book of life yeah
Is your name in this book of life?
Is your name in this book of life yeah


Flipping the pages of this great book
This brother gave a cursory gaze
He saw the names of Prophets, Saints and Martyrs
Who kept the faith and won a race
But he said “Mr. Angel, where is my name?”
“Can you tell me what is going wrong?...”
“…I’m a pillar in my local church; give the offerings and the tithes,”
“… Feed the poor and have myself a good name”


Is my name in this book of life?
Is my name in this book of life yeah
Tell me is my name in this book of life?
Is my name in this book of life yeah

Unforgiveness lurks within your heart
Some folks that you will never let go
Little foxes and secret faults
Will spring surprises on that final day.
(Oh…)

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

Is your name in that book of life?
Is your name in that book of life yeah
Is your name in that book of life?
Tell me is your name in that book of life yeah
Think about it.

This song really touched me
" Only the pure in heart will see Jesus
