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
