Gates Shining For Me

Verse 1

I was small, running wild, chasing days in open fields

Then the years, weight of miles, secrets only heaven heals

Once I stumbled, wandered cold

Now I’m gray, I’m not alone

It’s my time, I’m going on home

Through the open golden gates

Chorus

Hallelujah hallelujah, to His name

God’s taking me up, I’m not afraid

You opened the gates shining for me

I thank you Lord for saving my soul

Post-Chorus

Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah to His name

Verse 2

I thank You Lord, I thank You Lord

Forgave my wrongs, made me whole

All my burdens blown away, by Your mercy, by Your grace

Thanks to Your son, through his pain

Now my soul can breathe again

Light is pouring over me, warmth I’ve never known

No more shadows in my heart, You have brought me home

Chorus

Hallelujah hallelujah, to His name

God’s taking me up, I’m not afraid

You opened the gates shining for me

I thank you Lord for saving my soul

Post-Chorus

Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah to His name

Bridge

I can feel Your love surrounding, every moment, every sound

Lost but now I see, Your forgiveness lives in me

All my loved ones gone before

Now I’m standing at Your door

Unbroken, unafraid, You lead me on

Chorus

Hallelujah hallelujah, to His name

God’s taking me up, I’m not afraid

You opened the gates shining for me

I thank you Lord for saving my soul

Outro

Hallelujah hallelujah, to His name

Thank You Lord, thank You Lord

Now my soul is free, thank You Lord
