You may ask me why I 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, sweet bye and bye

But if heaven never was promised to me
Neither God's promise to live eternally
It's been worth just having the Lord in my life
Living in a world of darkness
You came along and brought me the light

If there were never any streets of gold
Neither a land where we'll never grow old
It's been worth just having the Lord in my life
You've been my closest friend down through the years
And every time I cry You dry my tears

It's been worth just having the Lord in my life
Living in a world of darkness
Living in a world of darkness
You came along and brought me the light
