Does anyone have the lyrics to an old song called Keeper of the door. A lady in our church used to sing it. She's gone now and I would love to find it again.
Thanks, Donna

Keeper Of The Door

When my name is called to enter heavens portals
If I could have one wish granted, this i know
I'd be happy just to be at home with Jesus
yes Id like to be the keeper of the door

If I could see the smile on every face that entered
shake the hands of all my friends I used to know
I'd be happy just to be at home with Jesus
oh I'd like to be the keeper of the door

there are many things to see when I reach heaven
like the gates of pearl and the streets as pure as gold,
after I've had a while to talk with Jesus
then I'd like to be the keeper of the door.

I was taught this old hymn by a good friend many years ago. Never seen the words in print. Thank you. Brings back some memories.

I have a copy of the song, not sure who is singing but it seems to be recorded in the 50's or 60's. sameans71 at ya hoo . com

my sister sang this all the time, just like an angel. I just saw the lyrics as I too have been searching for the words. My sister has passed and I long to hear her sing to me.

My mom sang this at Bluegrass festivals all over the eastern shore.

This made my day, my Father who has passed on now and myself when I was a very little girl use to sing this song in church. I ran across a 20 year old vhs tape of him singing it by himself and he didnt finish it, the spirit took over. For the life of me I couldnt remember the last verse so thank you so very much.
