When I have crossed death’s chilly sea, will He His love there show? Oh, yes, He heard my feeble cries, from bondage set me free. And when I reach the pearly gates He will remember me. 2 O, what a shame to kill Him There on that rugged cross; But such a death was needed To rescue all the lost. His blood was made a ransom To set the captives free, I know that I’m included, and He will remember me. [Refrain] 3 At His dear feet I’m kneeling. My sins I now confess; I bow in deep repentance, My soul He’ll surely bless. My blinded eyes He opens So that the light I see, And when I reach the pearly gates, He will remember me.
