CHORUS
He’ll keep a light burning bright
In Heaven’s window for me
He’ll keep it on lest I lose my way
Then He’ll wait by the gate
Until I can make it in
He’ll keep a light in Heaven’s window for me
VERSE 1
I remember years gone by when all the kids were home
And the joy that we had so long ago
Mom would keep the porch light on when we were out at night
And we always knew that we were not alone
VERSE 2
It reminds me of the time that’s drawing ever near
When I leave this ol’ home I have down here
Oh I know my Savior’s waiting for me up above
And He’ll safely guide me to my home up there
CHORUS
He’ll keep a light burning bright
In Heaven’s window for me
He’ll keep it on lest I lose my way
Then He’ll wait by the gate
Until I can make it in
He’ll keep a light in Heaven’s window for me
VERSE 3
When it comes my time to die, and to cross ol’ Jordan’s tide
And I see my Lord on the other side
Oh I know it won’t be hard to find my way to Him
I’ll just run to where I see His glory shine
CHORUS x2 (with modulation on the last chorus)
