Is your name in that book???

If tonight you stood in Hevean's court


To seek eternal favor


Would you face Jesus Christ as judge


Or would you face Him as your Saviour?





There are many who don't quite know for sure


What that verdict would be if ever


So let's imagine for a moment you're standing dead center


In the courtroom of forever





Sitting before you is a structure


Massive and intense


It's here your fate will be determined


Before this Judge's bench





Then a voice booms, "This court's now in session."


And your adrenaline starts to rush


Peering down with eyes that see through your soul


Is God the Father; your Judge





Then off to your left, across the room


Is the virtual silhouette of sin


Stepping out of the shadows of condemnation


Your worst nightmare walks in





On his face is the smirk of evil incarnate


His mind fixed on your destruction in hell


You've just been introduced to your prosecuting attorney


None other than Satan himself





The Bible says he's the accuser of the brethren


So guess what he's gonna do


He's gonna accuse you of your sins


And he knows them all


Both the old ones and the new





He's prepared his case for years


Now the golden moment is his


So in arrogance he presents his case to the Judge


And it comes out sounding something like this





"God, you see this worthless piece of trash over here?


This one is a sinner to the core


This one has commited adultery, cursed his neighbor, stolen money


Been into drugs, alcohol and even more





This hopeless wretch has even slandered friends


And by that guilty face this whole courtroom can tell


That to a moral certainly and beyond and reasonable doubt


This one deserves eternal judgement in hell"





The words of accusation still echo


Your every sin thrown up in your face


Then God opens the book where ever deed is recorded


And reviews your records of disgrace





God says, "The book says you did this, this and this


And everything you were accused of today


Now, before I sentense you to hell forever


Are there any last words you have to say?"





Now, if it's true you're standing there in the courtroom of eternity


With God to your front and Satan the prosecutor to your left


There's on remaining eternal truth, on that's crucial to remember


On you should never, ever, ever forget





That on the other side of the courtroom


I said, on the other side of the courtroom


You ain't hearing me tonight


I said, on the other side of the courtroom





Is the one and only Son of God


Revealed in time and space


And He's your defense attorney


Who has never lost a case





It's not Buddha, Mohammed or Krishna


Or any other who succumb to death


Ladies and gentlemen on the other side of the courtroom


Is Jesus Christ of Nazareth





Then Jesus jumps up, says, "What a minute, Judge


Now I've got something to say


May I remind you that on a cross 2,000 years ago


I washed his sins away





I was crucified, I died, they put Me in a tomb


But long about the midnight hour


The power of God hit Me and I walked out of that grave


Alive and well with resurrection power"





The devil said, "It's in the book, it's written in the book


Check the book," and God said, "OK"


Then He takes the book out, lays it open and says


"Now we'll see what this book has to say"





He turns to the first page, the second page, the third


By the fourth, the devil seemed shook


God closes it and says, "The blood of Jesus must have worked


'Cause there is absolutely nothing in this book"





The devil says, "Now, wait a minute, check that book again


All his sins are written down, they're all right there"


God said, "Fevil, maybe you're mistaken all together


Maybe it's this other book down here"





The devil cries, "No! Not that book, not that one"


God said, "Devil, why you so uptight?"


God sets the book down, the dust flies


And on the cover it says


The Lamb's Book Of Life





Is your name in that book?


Is your name in that book?


Is your name in that book for sure?





If you've been forgiven


And your name is written


Then lift your hands, praise the Lord





Yes, my name's in that book


Yes, my name's in that book


Yes, my name's in that book tonight


I've been forgiven


And I know my name is written


In the Lamb's Book Of Life


In the Lamb's Book Of Life





This courtroom is adjourned
