I was thinking that I was in a drought with my songwriting and asked the Lord, is this it? Then out of nowhere, this came along this past week.

Enter In
When my time has come, and my race has been run,
I want to hear him say, my child, well done.
I’ll be standing at the gate, oh I just can’t wait,
To hear my savior say, enter in.
Chorus:
Enter in, you’ve done well my child,
I have watched you for a while.
You have earned your way my faithful son.
Ole Satan lost, you win, you’ve strayed away from sin,
Welcome to my kingdom, enter in.

There’s such beauty there, of which we can’t compare,
There are mansions built on streets of gold.
With loved one gone before, they’re waiting by the door,
And with them there are all the saints of old.
Chorus:
Enter in, you’ve done well my child,
I have watched you for a while.
You have earned your way, my faithful son.
Ole Satan lost, you win, you’ve strayed away from sin,
Welcome to my kingdom, enter in.
Old Satan lost, you win, you’ve strayed away from sin,
Welcome to my kingdom, enter in.
Welcome to my kingdom, enter in.

Hey there Ronnie, I love those western swing sounds you come up with. This one sounds as though it came right out of the heart of Texas - very cool.

This is not a genre I usually listen to, but I like it. Your song has a nice groove that gets my feet moving.

Ronnie...this IS my genre and this is a cool song...you can't go wrong with a good Texas swing...I love the track and could imagine one of the great gospel quartets performing this...you are obviously not done yet...maybe my favorite of all your great songs!

I see inspiration has appeared like a burning bush on a mountain. I love the song. I agree that it's one of your best. Very catchy melody and very good vocal

A terrific song Ronnie with great lyrics and well sung. I love the Hokey style with slide guitar and I must check it out.

Nice listen Ronnie!

We used to play some western swing in our bluegrass band and have always enjoyed it.

Well done!

I won't say it's your best, because I think you do fantastic work.

But it's certainly up there with your best. smile

Wow, Ronnie, you got your answer, and a terrific answer indeed. You ain't done yet, my friend. Love this country swing, and you wrote a good one for the genre. Great bounce in the feel, and this song could easily be a staple for any country, bluegrass or ---heck, any show where there is good music. Keep 'em comin'.
