Life Plays On

Strike up the band
And play the song of my life.
With every chord
Comes a chorus.

Life plays on,
Unto death,
And death
Unto eternity.

Wretched sinner,
Repent of your sin--
Marathon runner,
Run for your life.

Life plays on,
Unto death,
And death
Unto eternity.

Set the slave free--
And learn to have a heart;
Although black,
Feelings aren't absent.

Life plays on,
Unto death,
And death
Unto eternity.

So strike up the band,
And play the song of my life.
With every cry,
Comes comforting.
