Golden Gates Swing Wide

Verse 1

Running roads I once called home

Childhood laughter, now scattered stones

I was young, wild as the river

Never guessed I'd be delivered

Years spooled by, just a line in the sand

I reach up my hands

My time

It’s come

I walk toward

The sun

Hallelujah, hallelujah, to his name

Chorus

God’s taking me up

Golden gates swing wide for me

I thank you Lord for saving my soul

Forgiving the wrong in me

Thanks to your son, named Jesus, now I’m free

Hallelujah, hallelujah, to his name

Post-Chorus

To his name

To his name

Verse 2

I feel love like the dawn’s soft glow

No more darkness, no fear below

Light surrounds every shadow gone

Echoes of loved ones carrying on

I was lost, but now I see

Forgiving light shining in me

Your love

Is here

I feel

No fear

Thank you Lord for making me whole again

Chorus

God’s taking me up

Golden gates swing wide for me

I thank you Lord for saving my soul

Forgiving the wrong in me

Thanks to your son, named Jesus, now I’m free

Hallelujah, hallelujah, to his name

Post-Chorus

To his name

To his name

Bridge

I see the sky, shining true

Years drift by, mercy falls like dew

Thank you Lord, you stayed all along

Thank you Lord for making me strong

Chorus

God’s taking me up

Golden gates swing wide for me

I thank you Lord for saving my soul

Forgiving the wrong in me

Thanks to your son, named Jesus, now I’m free

Hallelujah, hallelujah, to his name

Post-Chorus

To his name

To his name

Outro

Hallelujah, hallelujah, to his name

I thank you Lord, my heart you claim

Hallelujah, hallelujah, to his name

I thank you Lord
