A New Sunrise

(1)
My first step to heaven was down on my knees
I cried, “Lord, have mercy on a sinner like me.”
Then I felt his spirit, I had never felt before
I knew it was my Savior, he had opened the door.

Chorus:
Then I opened my eyes to a brand new sunrise
Jesus shined his light down on me.
And there where so many sights, my eyes had never seen
Then I realized, this wasn’t just a dream.

(2)
Many years have passed and gone now and I’ve walked the narrow way
I see so many footsteps gone on ahead of me
Someday I’ll overtake them and I know it won’t be long
When we step inside those pearly gates, at last we’ll be home.

Chorus:
Then we’ll  open our eyes to a brand new sunrise
Jesus shined his light down on me.
And there where so many sights, my eyes had never seen
Then I realized, this wasn’t just a dream.
