Welcome In

Lyrics

Based on Luke 16:19–31

VERSE 1
There was a wealthy man
Who feasted every day
But right outside from the dawn till night
A needy and sick man lay
But soon both men had died
And stood before their God
The rich man saw heaven can’t be bought
The poor man found he was loved

VERSE 2
Our God in heaven is just
His eyes can bear no sin
His holiness and nothing less
Is needed to come to Him
For those who don’t believe
God’s judgment is their choice
But those made right through the blood of Christ
Will know the greatest of joys

VERSE 3
Both hell and heaven are real
And God wants us to know
That Christ endured what we each deserve
So heaven could be our home
And if we believe God’s Son
Has paid for all our sin
Then, by His grace when we see His face
His smile will say, “Welcome in!”
