The key to Heaven is not metal, it wasn't made from steel It was carved out of two cedar wood studs And it's carried by believers who know the key is real 'Cause we've been freed from sin and sorrow and covered by His blood The key to Heaven is not hidden in a dark and secret place You'll find it if you just look His way Open up your heart and find amazing grace And He will lead you past your troubles and you'll hold the key today The door to Heaven's never locked up to anyone All it takes is faith to kick the gates wide open The path to Paradise was blazed By a man who freely gave His life away To make the key that unlocks your heart And leads you straight into the Savior's arms The key to Heaven is forever once you know what it's about But you won't hold it in the palm of your hand 'Cause it's carried in your spirit when you know without a doubt The key to life is knowing Jesus leads you to the promised land The door to Heaven's never locked up to anyone All it takes is faith to kick the gates wide open The path to Paradise was blazed By a man who freely gave His life away To make the key that unlocks your heart And leads you straight into the Savior's arms
