I
WHEN I GO TO SEE ST. PETER ON THAT FAR AND DISTANT SHORE.
AND I TELL HIM THINGS IN LIFE THAT MAKE ME SIN,
THERE'LL BE SOMEONE THERE TO MEET
ME AND TO GREET ME AT THE DOOR
OPEN WIDE THOSE PEARLY GATES I'M COMING IN.
II
ALL MY FRIENDS AND MY RELATIONS
WILL BE WAITING THERE I KNOW
AND MY DEAR, OLE' MOTHER SHE'LL BE WAITING TOO.
GETTING READY FOR OVER YONDER
HOPE I MAKE IT PASS THE DOOR
OPEN WIDE THE PEARLY GATES I'M GOING THRU.
CHORUS
I SEE THAT SEA WALKER, THAT BLIND MAN HEALER,
THAT LEPER CLEANSING MAN FROM GALILEE,
I SEE THAT SOUL SAVER,
THE ONE WHO SET ME FREE
TAKE MY HAND AND FOLLOW ME,
TAKE MY HAND, TAKE MY HAND.
TAKE MY HAND AND FOLLOW ME.
