Look For Me At the Pearly Gates

Look For Me At The Pearly Gates. Look for me at the Pearly Gates. No need to rush, no need to wait, Because for this trip I am securely prepared This space for me shall not be impaired, It comes with a highly convicting price. The price we know just has to be right. The price for which there is no cash. No bill collecting device, and No monitor on the taxing dash. For the life I so gallantly did borrow In this place has no more tomorrows Yet, I can stand so bravely alone The earthly clock has strokes time out, My yesterday’s, yell is only a vague shout. Can’t you see me, am I yet standing? Am I at the gate, or on the landing? If you can no longer see me there Trust me, even more trust God There’s no need to search anywhere. Just look for me at the Pearly Gates Just keep on paying your lifetime bill Remember though, that it is the Father’s will God gives us a lifetime of wakeup calls He picks us up from many awkward falls At this time with God’s grace, I am ready With God’s mercy, I hold my head up high My heart and hands are inestimably steady When I am no longer in this mundane line Wondering how long is the wait, Just look for me at the Pearly Gates
