If…

If heaven is the sum of all lights
Blowing gentle winds of the savannah
If heaven’s love is the beginning of life
Cheerful as children playing in the drizzle
Soft as silk, white as driven snow
Angel’s voice comforting the orphans
With a smile the sun envies with green
And divine warmth like a bear’s fur
Then my dear, you are heaven.


And if the sinner is the insecure
Wandering blindly through the waves
Unbelieving in love and warmth
Cynical in light, bold in the dark
Tormented by the hollow within
Haunted by the wintriness without
Unrepentant of the past
Scared to the stiff by the future
And disenchanted by the present
Then my dear, I am the sinner


If…
If these were true
That you be heaven blessed
And I the sinner disdained
Then I am a sinner on heaven’s path
With my back to heaven’s gate
