HEAVEN

Heaven’s gates are opening

Slowly swinging wide

A gentle voice is calling

It’s time to come inside

The journey home is ended

Weary was your way

I guided your every footstep

And give you strength each day

Chorus:

Heaven now your home

Come in come in well done

Your earthly journey is over

And your race now is run

I counted your every breath

Each beating of your heart

When you simply trusted me

And for Home you made a start

The angels now are welcoming

The streets of gold in view

And in my Father’s house

A mansion waits for you

Chorus:

Heaven now your home

Come in come in well done

Your earthly journey is over

And your race now is run

No more the heartaches

The doubts and the fears

I will gently reach my hand

And brush away your tears

There is no more darkness

Neither day or night

Death will never touch you

And your attire a robe of white

Chorus:

Heaven now your home

Come in come in well done

Your earthly journey is over

And your race now is run

Hear how I eagerly greet you

Welcome home my child

The lost lamb I searched for

Gathered from the mountain wild

I died for you in agony

On cross I took your place

I rose for you in triumph

And saved you by my grace

Chorus:

Heaven now your home

Come in come in well done

Your earthly journey is over

And your race now is run

Gaze upon my princely head

Once crowned with thorn for you

See my nail scarred hands

As I reach to you my two

For I am welcoming you to Heaven

This place of perfect peace

Where joy and happiness is yours

In an eternity that will never cease

Chorus:

Heaven now your home

Come in come in well done

Your earthly journey is over

And your race now is run
