Representative Text

Chorus:
O he that believeth, he that believeth
Hath an everlasting life,
O He that believeth on the Father and the Son
Hath an everlasting life.

1 One day, one day I was walking along,
Hath an everlasting life,
And the elements opened and the Love come down,
Hath an everlasting life. [Chorus]

2 I never shall forget that day,
Hath an everlasting life,
When Jesus washed my sins away,
Hath an everlasting life. [Chorus]

3 It made me laugh and it made me cry,
Hath an everlasting life,
To know my Jesus was so nigh,
Hath an everlasting life. [Chorus]

4 I'll tell you how I found the Lord,
Hath an everlasting life,
I prayed a little in the day and all night long,
Hath an everlasting life. [Chorus]
