BOOK OF LIFE

(Tom Coomes-Chuck Girard)

            Chorus
                        G
I keep my thumb between the pages
                   C                        G
And my heart in the book
D7                                                 G
Talkin' 'bout the Book of Life
                     G    
When my life gets too confusin'
                C
Well, I stop and take a second look
D7                                                                G
Take another look in the Book of Life

E                                                                         A
At times my heart gets down right faithless
E                                                                        A
And I sink into the quicksand of my sin
                                      D                               G
That's when the Word of God can purge my sinner's heart
          C                                       F                                   D                           D7
And free me from those old desires that pop up now and then

            Chorus
E                                                                A
The first time that I read it I was floatin'
E                                                                      A
The second time I felt the change begin
    D                                                                       G
The third time thru the truth began to hit me
           C                             F                            D             D7
The Word of God is washin' out my brain, amen

            Chorus

E                                                   A
I used to worry 'bout my waistline
E                                             A
I found it awful hard to grin
D                                                           G
But now my soul delights in feedin' on the Word
C                            F                                              D        D7
Can't stuff enought of them spiritual calories in (Amen)

                           G            
I keep my thumb between the pages
                   C                        G
And my heart in the book
D7                                              G
Talkin' 'bout the Book of Life
                          G    
When my life gets too confusin'
                   C
Well, I stop and take a second look
D7                                                                  G
Take another look in the Book of Life
                     D7                                                                         G
Why don't we take another look in the Book of Life
                   D7
Come on let's take another look in the book

(In the book)

In the book

(In the book)
                                 G
In the Book of Life
