The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#883

883. Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold

1 Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold
I would make sure of Heaven, I would enter the fold
In the book of thy Kingdom, with its pages so fair.
Tell me, Jesus, my Saviour, is my name written there?

Refrain:
Is my name written there,
On the pages white and fair?
In the book of thy Kingdom,
Is my name written there?

2 Lord, my sins they are many, like the sands of the sea,
But thy blood, O my Saviour, is sufficient for me;
For thy promise is written in bright letters that glow
Though your sins be as scarlet, I will make them like snow.

3 O that beautiful city with its mansions of light,
With its glorified beings in pure garments of white;
Where no evil thing cometh to despoil what is fair;
Where the angels are watching, yes, my name is written there.

Refrain:
Yes, my name’s written there,
On the pages white and fair,
In the book of thy Kingdom,
Yes, my name’s written there.
