Representative Text

1 When you come to meet your King, and your earthly treasures bring,
Will your book of life be false or be fair?
On the day when time shall end, then will you your deeds defend?
You’ll never change your record, your record over there.

Chorus:
Over there, over there,
You’ll never change your record over there;
Over there, over there,
You’ll never change your record, your record over there.

2 When the judgment day shall come, and you count the deeds you’ve done,
You must meet your Lord and King, oh, beware;
For the Lord will only claim those who wear His holy name;
You’ll never change your record, your record over there. [Chorus]

3 If you live the life of love, you shall reign with Him above,
And receive the crown you’ve won, bright and fair;
For the deeds of love will stand in that bright and better land;
You’ll never change your record, your record over there. [Chorus]
