Stood before the pearly gates – v4

I have stood before the pearly gates

to be with Christ, with Jesus

to walk on that ancient road

with Cleopas and the other

going to Emmaus, walking home

to that moment of awakening

with the living Christ

yet pulled back down

into the world

to walk here longer

to go in his name

to bear my witness

being salt of this earth

and a light to this world
