The post dated 11-22-2010 is a song written by Jenny Lou Carson, (c) 1952, "The Keys to The Kingdom". I have the music in a 1957 edition of "Melodies of Praise" published by Gospel Publishing House, Springfield, MO.
THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM Ab 3/4
W & M by Jenny Lou Carson (1952)
1. You hold the keys to the kingdom of God,
Use them now, friend, and when you begin,
Start with the key that will unlock your heart,
Open up and let Jesus come in;
The master key's next, my dear neighbor,
It's one you should use ev'ry day,
Prayer is the key to the great pearly gates,
Yes, you're unlocking them when you pray.
2. Don't lose your keys to the kingdom of God,
for you can't buy your way to the fold,
Loveth thy neighbor, for love is the key,
To that heavenly mansion of gold;
When trumpets ring out in the morning,
and you step where angels have trod,
That's the great day, you'll be so glad,
You used All the keys to the kingdom of God.
