Meet me at the Gate

Meet me at the gate

How far is it to heaven, from my driveway

If I left right now, would I get there today

I know that I can’t come in, and I can’t stay

But is there any way

Daddy could just Meet me at the gate?

Living here without him, Gets harder everyday

Life goes on so busily, Not letting death get in its way

It’s sad to see, that the world Didn’t even pause, to say goodbye

They never noticed my heart Shattered on the floor

Or the tears that Filled my eyes

As the world’s still A buzz around me

There remains in me, An empty space

The hero that Once filled the void, Could never be replaced

How far is it to heaven, from my driveway

If I left right now, would I get there today

I know that I can’t come in, and I can’t stay

But is there any way

Daddy could just Meet me at the gate?

I want to tell him That I’m sorry

I didn’t treat every day, Like it were the last

All he gave me, I took for granted

So much I’d change, If I could go back

I can’t remember If I told him

How much he truly Meant to me

So you see, I need To get to heaven

With much haste And urgency

How far is it to heaven, from my driveway

If I left right now, would I get there today

I know that I can’t come in, and I can’t stay

But is there any way

Daddy could just Meet me at the gate?

It’s so hard to see my mama, go on without him

She’s the strongest woman I think I’ve ever known

She misses him so much

And still, she’s here for the rest of us

So like the wife of noble character

In proverb 31

As for me, for the first time, I comfort no one

I hideaway, to try and grieve by myself, alone

Without courage, I feel like the cowardly Lion

Searching for a way to be brave and show strength

Just like my mom

So please tell me,

How far is it to heaven, from my driveway

If I left right now, would I get there today

I know I can’t come in, and I can’t stay

But please let there be a way

Daddy, could just meet me at the gate.

By giving up religion, denomination and ritualistic works based worship, I became free to truly grasp an understanding of Grace. While maintaining a healthy fear of God, my focus became concentrated on His love. Through praise, prayer and His word I grow daily in the most beautiful, fascinating, inspiring and fulfilling relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit. It is the greatest desire of my heart to truly echo the Heart of Jesus in every aspect of my life and in every relationship throughout my life.
