Heaven's Doorway
As I leave this earthly realm
I travel high above the stars
An unseen celestial pilot at the helm
A vision of a mist from afar
In the clouds light years
from earth, I come upon a set of stairs
I ascend even higher than before
And finally the Pearly Gates!...Heaven's Door
The light I see is a pure, perfect light
I genuflect in awe of this sight
Then I wondered if my name is even in the Book
I approach meekly and the angel takes a look
The angel slowly flips the pages
I start sweating as my mind engages
All my sins flash before me too
I'm hoping that mercy will see me through
Finally the angel calls my name
The joy I feel,... words cannot explain
I enter through the gates and see my mother's brothers
They hug me, I am overjoyed to also see my grandmother
Joyful tears and hugs flow as I see many others
A feeling of perfect peace comes over me
It's as if I am a brand new person, sinless and free
The I hear my sister call my name
I run and kiss her, she was so glad I came
Friends and family from way back when
It was heavenly to be together again
And we sang everlasting praises
To God, whose grace eternally amazes
