If Heaven Never Was Promised to Me

You may ask me why do You 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 that fountain
 That never shall run dry
 Or is it to live forever, ever, and ever
 In that sweet old by and by
 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 livin' 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 livin' in a world of darkness
 But He brought me the light
 If there were never any streets of gold
 Neither a land where we will never grow old
 It's been worth just having the Lord in my life
 I was livin' in a world of darkness
 But He brought me the light
 You know I was livin' in a world of darkness
 But He brought me the light
 I was livin' in a world of darkness
 But He brought me the light
