Life
Recorded by Elvis Presley
Written by Shirl Milete

C
Somewhere out in empty space 
                           G7
Long before the human race something stirred
  Dm                             G7
A vast and timeless source began intelligence was born 
         C
And then there was the world


Powers filled the universe matter formed 
                       F
And broke the curse of nothingness
G7
Love became an ageless soul nature reached her highest goal
    C                      G7                C
And breathed the breath of life  everlasting life


Well creatures come from out of sight 
                                G7
Daylight came from in the night and all was good
Dm                        G7
Life became a master-plan love produced 
              C
A perfect Man that understood


The image of the Maker's word worshiped Him 
                F
With all He had but then one day
     G7
From in the depths an evil seed grew and manufactured greed
     C                  G7                C
That changed the way of life  everlasting life


Oh the loving power looked and saw
                               G7
Inside the heart of man a flaw began to grow
     Dm
Well the fires of hell began to burn 
    G7                           C
And so He sent His chosen Son to let us know


That love had surely made us all 
                                      F
And hate would surely make us fall so from the cross
     G7
Well He showed the world that dreadful day 
     
That love could be the only way 
   C              G7                C
Or all is lost of life  everlasting life
            G7               F    Fm C
For life is love and love is life
