My Record Will Be There

Verse 1

In a day that is not far, At the blazing judgment bar, Even now the awful summons I can hear; I must meet the mighty God, I must face His holy Word, I must stand before the judgment bar.

Chorus

Oh, my record will be there, Be its pages dark or fair, When I stand before the judgment bar; When the books shall open lie, In that morning by and by, Oh, my record, oh, my record will be there.

Verse 2

I must meet each broken vow, That I hold so lightly now, Ev'ry heartache I have caused, each sigh, each tear; Things that time cannot erase, I must meet them face to face, When I stand before the judgment bar.

Verse 3

Ev'ry secret lust and tho't There shall be to judgment bro't, When the Lord in all His glory shall appear; All the deeds of darkest night Shall come out to greet the light, When I stand before the judgment bar.

Verse 4

I must meet my cankered gold, For whose greed my life was sold, It shall mock me in the judgment’s lurid glare; Saying ye have sold for naught, All the Savior’s blood has bo't, You must stand before the judgment bar.

Verse 5

Let me turn and seek the Lord, Let me trust His holy Word, Let me bow and call upon Him while He’s near; Then when I my record face, He will answer in my place, When I stand before the judgment bar.
