I Know My Name Is There

My name is in the book of Life,
 Oh, bless the name of Jesus;
 I rise above all doubt and strife,
 And read my title clear.
 I know, I know,
 My name is there;
 I know, I know,
 My name is written there.
 My name once stood with sinners lost,
 And bore a painful record;
 But by His blood the Savior crossed,
 And placed it on His roll.
 Yet inward trouble often cast,
 A shadow o'er my title;
 But now with full salvation blest,
 Praise God! it's ever clear.
 While others climb through worldly strife
 To carve a name of honor,
 High up in heaven's book of Life,
 My name is written there
