At the Heavenly Gates

by Heather Simmons   Jul 23, 2003


Everything was good
Everything was fine
Who would have thought
That this was the last time we would dine.

We died there together
My best friend and I
It happened so fast
I didn\'t have time to cry.

Now we\'re here
Waiting in thes room
Half of it is light
But half of it is gloom.

An angel came up to us
A book in his hand
Then I knew where we were
I knew this land.

The book in his hand
Was the Book of Life
And behind me in the gloom
Was a land of agony and strife.

I looked at my friend
As she looked at me
I knew I was in that book,
But was she?

We gave our names to the angel
As he flipped through the book
He smiled at me
But gave my friend a sorrowful look.

I knew immedeatly
What that look had meant
Her name was not in the book
So into the gloom she was sent.

I cried and cried
As she just looked bemused
I had tried to tell her
She was so confused

As she stood there
Two men dressed in black came out
Out of the gloom and back
As they carried her about.

I tried to run to her
But the angel held me back
He spoke to me \"It was the love
Of Jesus that she lacked.\"

I couldn\'t believe that she
Would suffer in Hell for eternity
While I lived forever
In the same place as the Trinity.

She begged to Jesus
As she was dragged off to rot
I watched and cried as I her Jesus say to her
\"Dpart from me, I know you not.\"

It was just a wisper
But sounded like a yell
As she was tossed into darkness
My heart fell and fell.

Now I live with God, Jesus,
The Holy Spirit too.
My body and soul
He has renewed.
