Text:Looking through the windows of heaven

35. Looking through the windows of heaven

1 Last night I dreamed of Heaven,
I wanted so to enter in
But when the book of life was open
There was my life of sin.

Refrain:
I was looking through the windows of Heaven
I saw the Kingdom of God,
And there was the footprints of Jesus,
On the path that my Saviour trod.

2 It seemed that I could see my mother
There in Heaven's happy throng,
With outstretched arms she came to meet me,
But I had waited too long.

3 Oh, how my teardrops were falling,
As I tried to enter Heaven's gates
Was so sad with the judgment upon me,
But I had waited too late. [Refrain]
