Gates
By Betty M Tilley
Dear Saints of God, arise and shine, The
right way to a bright future is clear; Seek ye the LORD
while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
Open the iron gates of our prison O, LORD,
And send your angel to lead the way out. Break the grip of
sin that so easily besets us, Loose the bonds of
deceitfulness and doubt.
Create a clean heart to worship You O, LORD,
Renew a right spirit to dwell within, So that we might teach
others who are seeking the Light, How His shed blood has
redeemed us from sin.
We’ll not enter the broad gate with the
wicked; Our renewed spirit has taught us to see, Jesus only,
is the Way and the Truth and the Life, “No one comes to the
Father, but by Me.”
We’ll enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
Our songs of jubilance shall never cease. As we seek to be
holy, just as He is Holy, The fruit of our righteousness
shall be PEACE!
