Heaven's Gates
Time is short and moving fast, I am sure
Every day it flows away like the tiding shore
The sun sets off the Hawaiian ports
Another day gone, how long will our life endure?

Each day we get older, we're headed for the grave
We try to be bold and we try to be brave
But we know our time is running out and it's not a funny sound
We try to live the life but people are gunning down

Our beliefs, our religion, our culture, our decisions
Our own little division that lives the great Commission
Our God fearing system, non-existent skepticism
Our eternal dispositions as we try to keep it Christian.

We got to keep our head up we got to keep moving
We got to decide now, while we still got the choosing
Life is tough, I think you can agree with me
But we can make it, with the help of the Deity!

Chorus

Put what's broken on the mending plate
Fix it quick, cause it's getting late
Got no time to hesitate
Get on your knees and meditate
The time has come
Your job is done
It's time to run to Heaven's gates.

Verse 2

Looking back, I see I traveled a crooked track
But I know our Father don't look at that
Because we all are sinners, we all have sinned
But it's all wiped away when we give it all to Him.

We crawl to Him when we fall to sin
And it's through God's grace that we walk again
The guilt we feel is like a torch within
God has seen many bawling men.

Many times I have cried, with tears in my eyes
Then Christ would whisper, "Child, for those tears I died."
I forgot Him in pride, from Him, I would hide
But when I looked back, His arms were open wide.

I pray that I speak the praise that He seeks
And stay at His feet through the snares and the deep
My prayers for my peeps, don't care for the streets
Take your burden to the Lord, and leave it there at His feet.

Chorus

Put what's broken on the mending plate
Fix it quick, cause it's getting late
Got no time to hesitate
Get on your knees and meditate
The time has come
Your job is done
It's time to run to Heaven's gates.

Verse 3

This the final segment, we'll never see it again
We've reached the final leg and, we're headed straight for Heaven
This world was not pleasant, we suffered through like peasants
But we would not have made it here without continual repentance.

Close the book now, the story is complete
The lovers of Christ never tasted defeat
Everything is final, too late to repeat
Now you're living life in the Eternal Retreat.

Life in Heaven, a whole different kind
The Garden of Eden, with God's Plan in mind
How grand the design, it can't be defined
Fulfilling all desires and with nothing denied.

Now you meet the Savior who brought you here
The One Who was a Light through your darkest fears
The One Who gave you comfort when distraught with tears
Bow yourself in reverence in His awesome sphere!

Chorus

Put what's broken on the mending plate
Fix it quick, cause it's getting late
Got no time to hesitate
Get on your knees and meditate
The time has come
Your job is done
It's time to run to Heaven's gates.
