This Redemption Day

This redemption day. Heavenly Father, most gracious Lord, Please show this child the way. I hope that you are hearing me, On this redemption day. My time down here will soon be done, And death I must surely face. Forgive my sins, my thoughts of hate, When I leave this worldly place. The gates of heaven I hope to see, When my heart will cease to beat. My soul will rise to thee, And I hope it's me you'll greet.
