In His Book

In His Book If I lived so long ago At the creation of man I wonder would I have Stood strong in God's command Or would I have eaten of That tree famous for our fall Tasting of the good and evil Succumbed to the devil's call If I could open the book And have a look to see What would the Lord Have written of me? If I'd been around In those of Noah's days When man was turned wicked In all his thoughts and ways Build an ark and climb aboard Everything on earth to drown Would God spare my family Righteous in his eyes found If I could open the book Have just a look to see I wonder what the Lord Would have written of me If I had been in Egypt Working as an Hebrew slave Witnessing a man said Sent by God to save Would I have believed Prepared my things to go Delivered from the plagues Egypt would come to know If I could open the book Have a look to see I wonder what God Would have written of me Now If you had been alive And heard of a Virgin's birth What would you believe While Messiah walked the earth What if he were to come Return during our day Standing here before him What you he have to say Perhaps one day He may allow me a look Happy I will be just to see My name written in his book
