Lyrics and translation Riana Nel - Hou Die Hemel Oop

Hou Die Hemel Oop

Ek′s n sondaar, ek weet
Ek het baie Harte seer gemaak
En baie al gebreuk.
My gewete is gebrand.
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 di tyd vir my sou kom,
Dalk is dit nie nou,maar ek's gereed
Dalk is dit Vandag net die henuwee...
Net die Here weet.

Ek was verlore, Maar nou gevind...
En sonder di 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 Sal kom
Dalk is dit nie nou maar ek′s gereed
Dalk is dit Vandag net die Here weet.
Net die Here weet.

Se my wat jy glo aan di einde,
Die waarheid is jou en myne.
Ons lewe eers di lug,
Di vrede wat my hart verloor, se my wat jy glo aan di einde...

Hou di hemel oop vir as ek kom
Eendag as die tyd vir my Sal kom
Dalk is dit ni nou maar ek's gereed
Dalk is dit Vandag net die Here weet.
Net di Here weet.

When Heaven Opens

I'm a sinner, I know
I've caused a lot of pain
And I've hurt you again and again.
My conscience is burning.
I've made too many choices against reason and sense,
But I've finally surrendered to who I am.

So keep heaven open for when I come.
Someday when my time has come,
Maybe it's not now, but I'm ready
Maybe it's today, only God knows...
Only God knows.

I was lost, but now I'm found...
And without that weight I breathe like a
Child. There is a finger pointing at who I was,
But I learned very quickly,
I am whiter than white.

I see where I belong for an eternity of hope and who he is...
So keep heaven open for when I come
Someday when the time for me has come
Maybe it's not now but I'm ready
Maybe it's today, only God knows.
Only God knows.

Tell me what you believe in the end,
The truth is yours and mine.
We live first in the air,
The peace my heart lost, tell me what you believe in the end...

Keep heaven open for when I come
Someday when the time for me has come
Maybe it's not now but I'm ready
Maybe it's today, only God knows.
Only God knows.
