Analysis of Seat In Heaven
There was a seat for me in heaven
But for you I gave it away,
The seat is reserved for angels
And in heaven I cannot stay.
They say that sin's can be forgiven
Many can even be wiped clean,
Though some give passage to hell
But honestly, what does all that mean?
There was a seat in heaven for me
But I told them that it was for you,
And with a smile from an angel
They told me that they always knew.
The head of the angels spoke to me
He said you were pure and fair of grace,
And that when you sit on your seat in heaven
My memories would help in the journey I face.
