“As I enter Heaven’s gate” (Poem)

“As I enter Heaven’s gate”

I can hear the angels sing as I enter Heaven’s gate

I can hear the anthems ring as their voices accentuate

They were singing praises to their God to the one who’s on the throne

They put their arms around me welcome friend you’re home

I saw my mum and dad as I entered through that gate

My mum came and hugged me tight as if she couldn’t wait

Welcome to your new home son as I heard a melody

I knew that this was going to be for all Eternity

As I walked down those streets of gold the sky it brightly gleamed

I couldn’t believe that I was here it felt just like a dream

But as I walked towards the light a man came up to me

He said, welcome friend to paradise you’re now forever free

He put his hands toward my hands as we walked beneath the trees

He said we’ll head down on this road please just follow me

 I’m feeling thirsty sir could I drink down by the river

He stooped to get me water as my hands began to quiver

He cupped his hands and brought me water then I supped it from his hands

It was when I was nearly finished I realized he was the Lamb

I’d been walking with my Saviour when I saw the scars appear

I knew this was my Jesus and I shed a little tear

He reached His hand toward my face and wiped my tears away

He said I heard you every day when you got down and you prayed

I’ll never ever leave you as He walked along beside

You’re finally in Heaven friend this is where you will abide

I looked at Him with tears and He said dear friend you’re free

Enjoy all I have for you as far as you can see

I will take you to your mansion where you’ll find there is no cost

Remember that I paid the price when I died upon the cross

Finally, I’m at home in the mansion Jesus made

It’s just as He said it was adorned and arrayed

Majestic and so beautiful with all it’s Heavenly charm

As He walked me to my mansion we were walking arm in arm

The story continues……….Forever.

"Everybody's looking for Paradise" (Song)

“Everybody’s looking for Paradise”

We all want the pleasures of life we want it now without the strife

 Feeling down and feeling crappy we want the things that will make us happy

Give me all the things that life’s about it’s all we hear it’s the common shout

I want to have it now give it all to me this is real life oh can’t you see

Chorus

Everyone wants it right away, not tomorrow, but today

 We want the things that bring us joy we want the big expensive toys

Everyone’s trying to figure how everybody wants to have it now

Everyone is searching for everything nice everyone is looking for paradise

Everyone is looking for paradise everyone is looking for paradise

I’ve finally made it I’ve got it all now I’m feeling pretty tall

Look at me I’m so well off I’m prosperous look like a toff

Propitious and elegant some think that I’m arrogant

Success has finally come my way now I know for sure it’s here to stay

Chorus

Everyone wants it right away, not tomorrow, but today

 We want the things that bring us joy we want the big expensive toys

Everyone’s trying to figure how everybody wants to have it now

Everyone is searching for everything nice everyone is looking for paradise
Everyone is looking for paradise everyone is looking for paradise

What do you mean I have to die I won’t give up my piece of the pie

I know that you will all agree I earned it all it belongs to me

You mean I have to say goodbye I begin to grieve and start to cry

Now I have to leave it all now I’m not feeling very tall

It’s sure to happen you are going to die someone will get your piece of the pie

Life comes to a close and it’s usually abrupt there comes a time when we give it up

It’s imminent you’re going to die as your soul takes its flight to the “Spirit in the sky”

Yes, It’s imminent you’re going to die as your soul takes its flight to the “Spirit in the sky”

As your soul takes its flight to the “Spirit in the sky” as your soul takes its flight to the “Spirit in the

sky”

Chorus

Everyone wants it right away, not tomorrow, but today

 We want the things that bring us joy we want the big expensive toys

Everyone’s trying to figure how everybody wants to have it now

Everyone is searching for everything nice everyone is looking for paradise 

 Everyone is looking for paradise everyone is looking for paradise
