Cry for me no more.
For I have entered God's heavenly door.
It is the place of true rest,
Don't forget to do your best.
I have found peace with the Creator.
It is now up to you to one day take this journey, too.
Fear not, it is a place where all things are made new.
“Forgive us of our sins” was my chant.
Don't even think, “I can't make it in.”
You can win. Cry for me know more.
For I have entered God's heavenly door.
