The Keys to the vaults of heaven
May be buried somewhere in a prayer
The Keys to the vaults of heaven
May be heavy or lighter than air
Open up the vaults
Open up the vaults
We've got to find the keys
The nights have been growing darker
They're darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of heaven
The treasures are there within
[Solo]
The keys to the vaults of heaven
May be seen in a pure child's eyes
The keys to the vaults of heaven
May be heard in our desperate cries
[Solo & Children]
Open up the vaults
Open up the vaults
We've got to find the keys
The nights have been growing darker
Even darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of heaven
The glories are there within
[The Children]
One sweet day when the whole worlds ready
We'll awake to a glorious sight
[Swallow & Children]
Our saviour returns to guide us
We'll be gratefully blinded by light
[Full congregation]
We've got to find the keys
We've got to find the keys
To open up the vaults
The nights have been growing darker
So much darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of heaven
And the answers are there, within.
We've got to find the keys
We've got to find the keys
To open up the vaults
The nights have been growing darker
So much darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of heaven
And the answers are there, within.
[spoken]
"Our saviour will once again walk amongst us. He will return my friends. We
Have his promise. And those who fail to recognise him will burn in a fiery
Hell. Those who do see his glory will never be weak, nor sick, nor hungry, nor
Lonely again. No more pain, no more loss, no more sorrow"
