The Sheep Gate
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
When the door is not open
You know what you have to do
Go over to the other side
Then you can walk right through
Do not be afraid of death
It’s only the beginning
For if you die in Jesus Christ
You’ll live to stop your sinning
And you will never die again
You’ll only go on living
Because with him there is no end
In Heaven there’s Thanksgiving
