Im not sure I can go through that gate,
But I don't want to go to the basement floor,
God if it anit too late,
Will you let me slip in,
Heaven's back door.
I know I have been close before,
To change my fate,
at cross that your son bore for my sake.
Here I am once more.
Will you let me slip in
Heaven's back door?
I have touched the robe.
that a blessed Mother made.
I have held the rose,
and a blessed mother prayed,
Im sure that I caused,
heartache and pain.
I played so close to the firely flame.
Jesus arose from the grave,
Im why He came,
with the love that you gave
I stand on a stormy shore,
washed by the wave.
I can only be saved
If Will you let me slip in,
Heaven's back door.
