God Wrote Me Down

She kept it in her pocketbook
A list of her children’s name
She’d pull it out and mark one off
As each of them was saved
I still recall that blessed day
When my name disappeared
Cause when Mama marked me off her book
God wrote me down on his

When they write me off down here
He has me written down up there
When they tell you that I’m going down
I’ll be shouting through the air
When they tell you my life’s over
A million years and I’ll still live
Cause when they wrote me off of their book here
God wrote me down on his

They said I’d never amount to much
And the truth is they were right
But what they had not counted on
Took place one blessed night
Down on my knees I asked the precious Lord
If He’d forgive
And though they wrote me off of their book here
God wrote me down on his

Chorus

When they tell you my life’s over
A million years and I’ll still live
Cause when they wrote me off their book here
God wrote me down on his
