Pearly Gates

Well, I've finished posting on Real Christianity! Those 7 posts took us through the whole book and all of my favourite quotes/excerpts. :) I figured I'd start this week off with yet another post of lyrics from Red Mountain Music. This one is from their Heaven E.P. and is yet another favourite of mine:

Pearly Gates

Love divine – so great and wondrous,
Deep and mighty, pure, sublime;
Coming from the heart of Jesus
Just the same through tests of time.

He the pearly gates will open,
So that I may enter in;
For he purchased my redemption
And forgave me all my sin.

Like a dove when hunted, frightened,
As a wounded fawn was I;
Broken hearted, yet he healed me,
He will heed the sinner’s cry.

Love divine – so great and wondrous,
All my sins he then forgave!
I will sing his praise forever,
For his blood, his pow’r to save.

In life’s eventide, at twilight
At his door I’ll knock and wait;
By the precious love of Jesus

I shall enter heaven’s gate.

He the pearly gates will open,
So that I may enter in;
For he purchased my redemption

And forgave me all my sin.
