I've used this in several setlists. Anyone have the lyrics and chords. Most importantly, I need the songwriter's name. PLEASE SEARCH THE BOOK AGAIN. Thanks so much for any help.

Hi BlueGrassGospelGirl

You can find the lyrics here.

The songwriter's name is Jerry Goff.

There's a nice bluegrass recording of it here

God bless!
Steve

Please Search The Book Again
Key of F

D
I dreamed that I had died and gone to Heaven
G D
I stood just outside the Eastern Gates

The man from the Gate, said, "Have you've been born again,"
E A7
And is your name written in the Book of Life?

D G
Please search the Book again
D
I thought my name was there
A7
I went to church on Sunday
G D
But I never knelt in prayer
G
Please search the Book again
D
It's too late now I know
A7
Please search the Book again
G D
Before you make me go.

D
I told him all the things that I had done
G D
I told him all the trophies I had won

But the man said to me have you been set free?
E A7
Is your name written in the Book of Life?

Chorus"¦

D
And then he turned and left me standing there
G D
I knew it was too late now for prayer

So my sinner friend if you want to make it in
E A7
Then your name must be in the Book of Life!

Chorus"¦

I would guess the chart is in the key of D.

Hi just found this sight on computer, it was very helpful to find the words to Please search the book again, but a little confusing also, the info on page said it was not in key of F but thought it was the key of D . I am trying very hard to find the sheet music to the song, but no one can help. If you could give me a lead as to where I could get the sheet music I would deeply appreciate it. I love the song, and want to learn it to sing, but also want to learn how to play it on the piano and the guitar. I am very involved in our church, were small but love the Lord and we have some who also love to sing. If you can't help me I still appreciate your web sight on computer that got me this far. I at least have found the words and hopefully the chords. Thanks so much. May God bless you for your help.
In Christ Love , Helen
