Lyrics

If I should die before you
If I should die before you do
I'll not try to hurry through
The Gates of Heaven

I'll sit beside and greet the flow
Of troubled souls as Home they go
Hand-in-hand they'll hurry through
The Gates of Heaven

We've paid the price for human life
Goodby trouble, goodbye strife
We'll shed our flaws as we go through
The Gates of Heaven

We'll see our friends and loved ones, too
With perfect eyes and bodies new
They wait for us 'til we come through
The Gates of Heaven
The Gates of Heaven!
