Life Recorded by Elvis Presley Written by Shirl Milete

^CSomewhere out in empty space Long before the human race ^G7something stirred A ^Dmvast and timeless source began ^G7intelligence was born And then ^Cthere was the world

Powers filled the universe matter formed

And broke the curse of ^Fnothingness ^G7Love became an ageless soul nature reached her highest goal And ^Cbreathed the breath of ^G7life everlasting l^Cife

Well creatures come from out of sight

Daylight came from in the night ^G7and all was good ^DmLife became a master-plan ^G7love produced A perfect Man ^Cthat understood

The image of the Maker's word worshiped Him

With all He had ^Fbut then one day From ^G7in the depths an evil seed grew and manufactured greed That ^Cchanged the way of ^G7life everlasting l^Cife

Oh the loving power looked and saw

Inside the heart of man a flaw ^G7began to grow Well ^Dmthe fires of hell began to burn And ^G7so He sent His chosen Son to ^Clet us know

That love had surely made us all

And hate would surely make us fall so ^Ffrom the cross Well ^G7He showed the world that dreadful day

That love could be the only way

Or ^Call is lost of ^G7life everlasting l^Cife For life is ^G7love and love is ^Flife ^Fm ^C
