You may ask me, "Why do you serve the Lord?"
"Is it just for heaven's gain?"
Or to walk those mighty streets of gold,
And to hear the angels sing,
Is it just to drink from the fountain,
That never shall run dry,
Or just to live forever, ever and ever,
In that sweet old by and by.
But if heaven, never was promised to me, (Was never promised me)
Neither God's promise to live eternally,
Its been worth just having the Lord in my life,
Living in a world of darkness,
But He brought me the light.
If there were never any streets of gold, (Oh any streets of gold)
Neither a land where we would never grow old.
Its been worth just having the Lord in my life,
Living in a world of darkness,
But He brought me the light.
Oh, He's been my closest friend down through the years, (He's been my closest friend)
Every time I cry, you know He dries all my tears.
Its been worth just having the Lord in my life,
Living in a world of darkness,
But He brought me the light.
(Don't you know He is the light)
Its been worth just having the Lord in my life,
Living in a world of darkness,
But He brought me the light.
(Don't you know He is the light)
Its been worth just having the Lord in my life,
Living in a world of darkness,
But He brought me the light.
