Waiting at the Golden Gates

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The porch light's glowing softer now The evening fields are still There's a gentle road that winds on home Just past the farthest hill So lean in close and listen Harry, Chevon and Alma My Children, Family and Friends [Chorus] I'm safe in the arms of Jesus There's no more pain or fear I'm waiting at the golden gates To welcome you all here With open arms and a smiling face Oh, how I loved all of you [Verse 2] You filled my many years with joy With kindness, warm and true Every laugh around the table Every sunrise shared with you Harry, Chevon, Alma dear You kept me safe and whole Your sincere and gentle hearts Still shine inside my soul [Chorus] I'm safe in the arms of Jesus There's no more pain or fear I'm waiting at the golden gates To welcome you all here With open arms and a smiling face Oh, how I loved all of you [Bridge] I've gone home to those I loved They were waiting at the door My Darling and Laura are with me now On that bright and peaceful shore Faith has turned to glory here In the light forevermore [Verse 3] So hold on to hope when nights are long Let peace come settle in Let joy rise up like morning light And let love lead you again And when your road is finished too And your journey's at an end I'll be there to greet you My Children, Family and Friends [Chorus] I'm safe in the arms of Jesus There's no more pain or fear I'm waiting at the golden gates Harry, Chevon, Alma, I'm here With open arms and a smiling face Oh, how I loved all of you [Outro] Oh, how I loved all of you Your kindness carried me through Harry, Chevon and Alma I'll see you by and by I love you
