He's Waiting At the Gates

As I stand before heaven's gates in sight 
What's before me is a beautiful bright light 
Christ standing at the gates saying, come on in and see
Been waiting for you to come live with me
Come walk the streets of gold, too
Your log cabin I built just for you
On a hill far away you wanted to be
Let me take you there so you can see
Melanie, your loved one's been waiting for you to come 
Especially where you are from
There stood my brother with open arms towards me
Said, my sister I finally get to see
He hugged me tight 
Said, now everything is going to be alright
