[Verse 1]
In vain men tr
ied to enter H
eaven, but a d
oor could not
be found
Heaven’s walls
were great an
d high, all in
side were safe
and sound
But God, who s
o loved mankin

made and given
breath
Knew that to r
edeem them, th
e price to pay
was death
[Verse 2]
A search was m

meone who woul
d take this dr
eadful chore
There was only
one; God's on

But a door to
Heaven is of n

[Chorus]
A door was hun

it’s standing
open wide
Eternal life i
s waiting, for
all who step
inside
And what has b
ecome earth’s
greatest gain
was Heaven’s g
reatest loss
Heaven’s Door
was hung at Ca

Through the do

ansom paid for
life
Once inside th

But it’s no se

was conquered
. The key was
in the door
[Chorus]
A door was hun

And what has b
