Heavens Gates Are Open Wide

Heavens gates are open wide,
And I see people I know inside.

But they won’t let me go through,
Said I’ve got much too much to do.

As I turned to walk away, 
I knew I saw heaven that day.

So beautiful and bright,
How love produced such a brilliant light.

I wanted to stay but it was okay,
For I knew I would return again another day.

The sky there was painted with multiple rainbows,
I saw the Living Waters where everyone would go.

What I saw impressed me so that it was hard to leave,
That’s why I have come back here to get you to believe.

So you can have what I just saw it’s absolutely free,
The ticket was bought for you my friend and Jesus paid the fee.

Don’t wait to late to come on board for time is not your friend,
Where you spend eternity is how you live before the end.

Cause when those gates are closed up there,
There won’t be no one left to care.
