The Pearly Gates and Me

Soon, my eyes shall see the pearly gates

My ears to hear the sound of angels

My feet to walk the streets of gold

My hands to cuddle the glory of God

My God, my hope, my faith, my desire

And while I loved the gift of years

I knew very well they would not last

Until He scoops me from the earth in the palm of His hands

Till then my life I’d live

As one in transit

Yet, an impact I long to make as I wait

So men who wait when I’m long gone

May look and be transformed

If ever I miss this truth

Then the life I live here now is all but one big lie!
