Looklng for the words to an old gospel song. Heaven now is waiting

I think the title is: Heaven now is waiting.
Some of my family uses to sing it years ago.
They are all gone on now.
The only part that I can remember is;

Heaven now is waiting, gates are open wide.
Soon I know I'll enter, on the other side.

And that may not be correct, but close.

Thanks,
Jackie

I don't know if this is the one your looking for but verse 2 is close to what you posted. I pray this is the one. God Bless

Saved By Grace

Chorus:
Saved by grace, I've been saved by grace,
my names in the book of life, my sins are washed away,
saved by grace, I've been saved by grace,
it's not what I deserve but I'm saved by grace.

Verse: 1
I was alone in the darkness, I could not find my way,
then Jesus shined his light on me and turned all my nights to day.

Verse: 2
When I reach that city and the gates swing open wide,
I'm gonna sing redemption story
about how he brought me from the other side.

Thank you for replying but the part that I remember:

Heaven now is waiting, gates are open wide. (sang by the bass)
Soon I know I'll enter, on the other side. (sang by the tenors)

Is the chours.

May God bless you

HEAVEN NOW IS WAITING
GATES ARE OPEN WIDE
SOON I KNOW I'LL ENTER
EVER TO ABIDE
I SHALL MEET MY LOVED ONES
ALL THE GOOD AND TRUE
IN THAT HOME ETERNAL
WILL YOU MEET ME TOO.

The first verse starts:

THIS VAIN WORLD OF TRIALS
SIN ON EVERY HAND
TROUBLES ALL AROUND ME
HARD TO UNDERSTAND

but then my mind is blocked. I'll have to look in a book when I get home for the rest.
