Angelic Reminder
Every time I looked to Heaven
This is what I’d see
The pearly gates there opened
Calling out to me
I’d stop to pause a moment
As I’d try to recollect
The life that lay behind me
My path so indirect
I somehow made it this far
Now will they let me in
Did I remember to ask the Lord
To forgive me of my sins
I stand before the gate so wide
Yet narrow is the path
I fear that I have not done right
And now must face God’s wrath
Maybe He’ll show mercy
Perhaps He will be kind
I know I could have done better
If I'd been given more time
It’s now too late to ask Him
It’s much too late to pray
I should have done it sooner
That’s the biggest mistake I made
He doesn’t seem too angry
As I kneel down and say
I’m sorry please forgive me
On this my Judgment Day
He looked just inside his book
And said with a grin
“Blessed is the child of faith and love
My child, please come in”
So this is my reminder
From heaven up above
Find it in yourself today
Show forgiveness, faith, and love
