The time has come, the light I see
Behind the white pearly gates
You wait for me.
Behind the white pearly gates
Where gentle love flows free.
The doors open wide
I hear the bells ringing
It beckons, come inside
The soft pastel clouds in space,
I hear angels singng.
I see his face.
Come in, come in, you are my friend
I'll walk with you, in the morning dew
and always be by your side.
Like beguiling music, thou doest inspire
the mirth and youth and a hearts desire.
Through the green woods, I see the magic of you
Where butterfies, sweet herbs, they sip
A hundred thousand times I hear your name
And press the blossoms to my lip.
I hear your name, I hear your name.
It always seems to say
Come walk beside me in the valley
Come hold my hand today.
A hundred thousand times, I see you there
With golden wings and tressels of flowing hair
The wind blowing through your gown of pure white
The Creator's goodness, the spheres of night.
Forget earth's turmoils, rights and wrongs
Lift your eyes to heaven, sing your songs .
Of praise, sweet dreamer and songster of rhyme
Thy morning and evening breath, upon thy golden face
Remind me of springtime, the Lord's pure grace.
The time has come.....I touch my face
When I must go, back to reality
A dream of heaven and a peaceful place,
where we all live in harmony.
It touches me like soft wings of a dove.
I know my Lord is everywhere.
I feel his touch, I know his love.
I look to the heavens, He is there.
