The Gates of Heaven

By Hannah

Gates of Heaven

Dear Lord, I’m standing at the gate

How long before I know my fate?

Will angels come and take my hand

And lead me to the promised land?

Will I, at long last see your face

And live forever in your grace?

I cannot feign perfection, Lord,

You know me as I am.

My sins have pierced you like a sword

I pray I’ll not be dammed.

~~~

I thank you for your blessing Lord

Good friends, good health, and Thee,

And creatures that you put on earth

To keep me company.

Sometimes I might be lonely

But, it doesn’t really stay.

Your always there to hear my prayers

And chase the blues away.

Thank you, Lord.
