BOOK OF LIFE – Written in the Book of Life by Bro H

Rejoice, because your names Are written in heaven! Rejoice, because your names Are written in heaven!

[Verse 1] “In Isaac shall thy seed be called”— Through Jacob came the promised nation. God named the tribes and kept His word Through bondage, exile, and generation. Yet when they made the golden calf, Their covenant did not excuse them: “Him will I blot out of My book”— God warned that He could still remove them. [Verse 2] “In thy book all my members were written”— David praised the God who knew His substance, hidden and unperfect, The frame no human eye could view. “Which in continuance were fashioned, When as yet there was none of them.” The seed unfolds the Maker’s writing; The body takes its form from Him. [Chorus] Written in the Book of Life, The Lamb’s own people, called by name; Washed and clothed in raiment white, Redeemed by Him who bore our shame. Our life is in the risen Son; Through Him we stand and overcome. [Verse 3] His servants came rejoicing, The spirits subject through His name; “Rejoice, because your names are written In heaven”—Christ Himself proclaimed. Paul named his fellowlabourers, “Whose names are in the book of life”; Their labour did not first inscribe them; Their service showed their faith in Christ. [Verse 4] To Sardis Jesus gave this warning: “You have a name that you live, and are dead.” “Remember therefore how you have received and heard, And hold fast, and repent”—the Saviour said. The overcomer walks in white raiment; His name Christ will not blot away. Before His Father and His angels, He will confess him on that day. [Chorus] Written in the Book of Life, The Lamb’s own people, called by name; Washed and clothed in raiment white, Redeemed by Him who bore our shame. Our life is in the risen Son; Through Him we stand and overcome. [Verse 5] The earth beholds the beast returning, And wonders at its rise to power; Those never written in the Book Bow down before it in that hour. “From the foundation of the world”— Their names were never written there. The beast is bound for its destruction; The saints keep faith through sword and snare. [Verse 6] The dead stand forth, both small and great; The books are opened at the throne. “According to their works,” they’re judged; No hidden deed remains unknown. “And another book was opened, Which is the book of life.” “And whosoever was not found written In the book of life Was cast into the lake of fire.” “This is the second death.”

[Chorus] Written in the Book of Life, The Lamb’s own people, called by name; Washed and clothed in raiment white, Redeemed by Him who bore our shame. Our life is in the risen Son; Through Him we stand and overcome. [Verse 7] The Bride appears in holy splendour; The Lamb’s wife shines before John’s eyes. The tribes of Israel name her gateways; The Lamb Himself her light supplies. Apostles’ names mark her foundations; The covenant city stands complete. No thing defiling gains admission; No falsehood walks her holy streets. “But they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life”— The Scripture names who enters in. The gates stand open, still excluding Abomination, lies, and sin. [Verse 8] And if any man shall take away From the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part Out of the book of life, And out of the holy city, And from the things which are written in this book. [Final Chorus] Written in the Book of Life, The Lamb’s own people, called by name. Washed and clothed in raiment white, Redeemed through Jesus’ sacrifice. Our life is in the Son alone; His blood has purchased all His own. [Outro] Rejoice, because your names Are written in heaven! Rejoice, because your names Are written in heaven!
