If heaven never was promised to me

You may ask me why do I serve the lord
Is it just for heaven's gain
Or to walk those mighty streets of gold
Or to hear the angels sing

Is it just to drink from the fountain
That never shall run dry
Or is it to live forever, ever, and ever
In that sweet old 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
I was living in a world of darkness
But he brought me the light
He's been my closest friend down through the years
And every time I cry you know he dries all my tears
It's been worth just having the lord in my life
I was living in a world of darkness
But he 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
I was living in a world of darkness
But he brought me the light
You know I was living in a world of darkness
But he brought me the light
I was living in a world of darkness
But he brought me the light
