Hou Die Hemel Oop - Riana Nel

Ek’s n sondaar, ek weet

Ek het baie harte seer gemaak

En baie al gebreuk

My gewete is gebrand

Ek het te veel keur gekies teen rede en verstand

Maar ek is uitoorle ek het oor gegee aan wie ek is

So hou die hemel oop vir as ek kom

Eendag as die tyd vir my sou kom

Dalk is dit nie nou maar ek’s gereed

Dalk is dit vandag net die Here weet

Net die Here weet

Ek was verlore maar nou gevind

En sonder die gewig haal ek asem soos 'n kind

Daar wys 'n vinger na wie ek was

Maar ek het bitter gou geleer

Ek is witter as wit gewas

Ek sien waar ek behoort 'n ewigheid van hoop en wie Hy is

So hou die hemel oop vir as ek kom

Eendag as die tyd vir my sou kom

Dalk is dit nie nou maar ek’s gereed

Dalk is dit vandag net die Here weet

Net die Here weet

Sê my wat jy glo aan di einde

Die waarheid is jou en myne

Ons lewe eers di lug

Die vrede wat my hart verloor

Sê my wat jy glo aan di einde

Hou di hemel oop vir as ek kom

Eendag as die tyd vir my sou kom

Dalk is dit ni nou maar ek’s gereed

Dalk is dit vandag net die Here weet

Net die Here weet

I'm a sinner, I know

I have hurt many hearts

And many already broken

My conscience is seared

I chose too much against reason and reason

But I've learned I've surrendered to who I am

So keep the heavens open for when I come

One day if the time would come for me

Maybe it's not now but I'm ready

Maybe today only God knows

Only the Lord knows

I was lost but now found

And without the weight I breathe like a child

There's a finger pointing at who I was

But I learned very quickly

I am washed whiter than white

I see where I belong an eternity of hope and who He is

So keep the heavens open for when I come

One day if the time would come for me

Maybe it's not now but I'm ready

Maybe today only God knows

Only the Lord knows

Tell me what you believe in the end

The truth is yours and mine

We only live in the sky

The peace my heart is losing

Tell me what you believe in the end

Keep the heavens open for when I come

One day if the time would come for me

Maybe it's not now but I'm ready

Maybe today only God knows

Only the Lord knows
