Pearly Gates

Standing at the Pearly Gates, Wondering if I've sealed my fate. Thought I lived right, thought I'd been good, But now I'm not so sure, maybe misunderstood. Oh, St. Peter, won't you let me in? I've been praying, Lord, forgive my sin. My heart's heavy, burdened with doubt, But I'm reaching out now, please show me my route. St. Peter's waiting at the Pearly Gates, Judgment day's come, it's my fate to face. Thought I'd made it through, thought I'd been true, Now I'm nervous, what's he gonna do? I hear the angels singing up above, Reminding me of grace and love. But did I heed their advice at all? Or did I stumble, am I gonna fall? Oh, St. Peter, see my trembling hand, I'm trying hard to understand. My faith shaken, my soul in fear, But I'm standing strong, 'cause the end draws near. St. Peter's waiting at the Pearly Gates, Judgment day's come, it's my fate to face. Thought I'd made it through, thought I'd been true, Now I'm nervous, what's he gonna do? I'm praying for mercy, for a second chance, To enter Heaven's eternal dance. Forgive my trespasses, my flaws and sins, Oh, Lord, help me, let redemption begin. Oh, St. Peter, guide me to the light, don't want the land of endless night. My soul is yearning for a place to rest, Grant me peace, I thought I did my best. St. Peter's waiting at the Pearly Gates, Judgment day's come, it's my fate to face. Thought I'd made it through, thought I'd been true, Now I'm nervous, what's he gonna do? St. Peter's waiting, the verdict's near, But I'll keep believing, casting out my fear. Awaitin' for mercy, I try to cope, St. Peter, open the gate, and give me hope. [St. Peter, open the gate, and give me hope]
