Someone Like You
Ricky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you someone in heaven awaiting?
Expecting you on that beautiful shore
Be ready to join that great band of angels
When they welcome you into that heavenly door

Come sinners take heed while Jesus is waiting
Please never be caught in the pathway of sin
For Jesus may call you home in the morning
When the heaven's gates open will you enter in?

Have you someone in heaven awaiting?
Expecting you on that beautiful shore
Be ready to join that great band of angels
When they welcome you into that heavenly door

The Savior will hear the prayer of the sinner
No matter how dark, no matter how late
He'll welcome you home to a heavenly mansion
Take a straight narrow way to that heavenly gate

Have you someone in heaven awaiting?
Expecting you on that beautiful shore




Be ready to join that great band of angels
When they welcome you into that heavenly door
