Verse 1:
You may ask me why I serve the Lord,
is it just for heaven's gain,
or to walk the mighty streets of gold,
and to hear the angels sing?
Is it just to drink from the fountain,
that never will run dry,
or just to live forever and ever,
in that sweet old by and by.
Chorus:
But if heaven never were promised to me,
even God's promise to live eternally.
It's been worth just having the Lord in my life,
living in a world of darkness,
He brought me the light.
If there were never any streets of gold,
even a land where we'd never grow old,
it's been worth just having the Lord in my life.
Living in a world of darkness,
He brought me the light.
Living in a world of darkness,
He brought me the light.
