Your Heaven

yes your heaven
is where I tried to go
little did I know that
it was not for me
But my Lord reached down
and stopped me in my tracks
before I got
to your heaven
yes heaven
is where I wanted to be
But I would have been
chained and shackled
to your love
not to be free
but my Lord reached down
and stopped me in my tracks
before I got
to your heaven
I was so weak and blind
that I could not see
I was in so much pain that
I stopped being me
but my Lord reached down
and stopped me in my tracks
from walking on, going on
into your heaven
it would have been
hell for me
forever and a day
if I went on, in my own way
into your heaven
yes your heaven
