How Does the Soul Enter Heaven

Oh, how does the soul enter Heaven's gates?
Is it by good deeds or just one's fate?
Or is it a combination of both night and day?
A mystery that’s puzzled us in every way.

But the answer to this riddle, I’ve come to learn,
Is not found in our actions or what we’ve earned.
It’s the grace of our loving, compassionate Lord,
Who gave us a chance, when we were lost and ignored.

With arms wide open, we are welcomed home,
And we find true peace, he's our shalom.
Through the trials and tribulations of everyday life,
He was always there, cutting through the strife.

And when our journey on earth is finaly done,
Our souls ascend, to the righteous one.
In Heaven above, where joy reigns supreme,
We’re embraced by the love that will forever gleam.

So fear not, my dear, and have no dread,
For the soul that has faith shall rise from the dead.
And enter into Heaven, a place of light,
Where the love of God shines oh so bright.
