His Fullness Songs ‎#299

299. He the Pearly Gates Will Open

1 Love divine, so great and wondrous,
Deep and mighty, pure, sublime;
Coming from the heart of Jesus–
Just the same through tests of time.

Refrain:
He the pearly gates will open
So that I may enter in;
For He purchased my redemption
And forgave me all my sin.

2 Like a dove when hunted, frightened,
As a wounded fawn was I;
Brokenhearted, yet He healed me–
He will heed the sinner's cry. [Refrain]

3 Love divine, so great and wondrous–
All my sins He then forgave.
I will sing His praise forever
For His blood, His power to save. [Refrain]

4 In life's eventide, at twilight,
At His door I'll knock and wait;
By the precious love of Jesus,
I shall enter heaven's gate. [Refrain]
