The One's With Me
NewSong's 'This One's With Me' is a dreamlike portrayal of a believer's arrival at Heaven's gates, feeling unworthy and afraid before God. The song captures the moment Jesus intercedes, declaring the person as part of His family and reminding the Father of His sacrifice on Calvary. It emphasizes the assurance of salvation and the welcoming embrace of God, culminating in a vision of laying one's crown at Jesus' feet. The lyrics convey themes of redemption, grace, and the hope of eternal life, offering comfort and confidence in Christ's finished work.
I was dreaming about Heaven
I was standing at the Pearly Gates
We all there
And I was so scared in the presence of One so great
I felt so worried and unworthy
I felt like running away
I bowed my head and I turn to go
Then I heard someone say
Father, this one's with me
Part of the family
One of the reasons I died on Calvary
Father, welcome him in
I paid the price for him
Father, oh Father, this ones with me
I was dreaming about Heaven
When I looked up the gates were opened wide
And in the distance, I saw Jesus
Our eyes met, and I began to cry
Angels robed in their beauty
Were there to show me the way
And all of Heaven singing
When I heard His voice say
Finally, we were there face to face
And He placed on me Heaven's crown
I fell down on my knees
Laid my crown at His feet
Then He said, to me
