I'll Be There
The Rochesters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small cafe, the park across the way
The children's carousel,
The chestnut trees, the wishing well
I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll find you in the morning' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

Lyrics to Heaven’s Door
In vain man tried to enter Heaven
For a door could not be found.
Heaven’s walls were great and high;
All inside were safe and sound.
God, Who so loved mankind,
Who He’d made and given breath,
Knew that to redeem them
The price to pay was death.
No search was made to find someone
Who would take this dreadful chore;
‘Cause only One, God’s only Son,
Could be Heaven’s only Door.
The angels knew once He was gone
A song would not be sung;
But a Door to Heaven is of no use
Unless on Earth it’s hung.
A Door was hung at Calvary.
It’s standing open wide.
Eternal life is waiting
For all who step inside.
And what has become Earth’s greatest gain
Was Heaven’s greatest loss.
Heaven’s Door was hung at Calvary
And It hinges on the cross.
He entered this world through a virgin’s womb
And He felt our pain and strife.
Through the door of death He soon would go
Our Great Ransom paid for life.
Once inside the door was sealed;
Satan thought he’d won the war.
But it’s no secret how death was conquered;
The Key was in the Door.
A Door was hung at Calvary.
It’s standing open wide.
Eternal life is waiting
For all who step inside.
And what has become Earth’s greatest gain
Was Heaven’s greatest loss.
Heaven’s Door was hung at Calvary
And it hinges on the Cross.
