The Gates of Gospel Grace

The glorious gates of gospel grace Open to all who knock

We only need the blood to plead And those mighty doors unlock

Christ is the door, Christ is the gate The entry to the fold

There is no need for me to wait To come in from the cold

I will enter your gates with thanksgiving

And go into your courts with praise

I'll bless your name while I am living

Forever and always!

Alive in Christ I find my place To live and move and be

Within the gates of Gospel Grace I'll dwell and never leave...

My dwelling place is in my Lord The home place of my soul

Jesus my Lord is my reward. My ark, my refuge and my goal!

I will enter your gates with thanksgiving

And go into your courts with praise

I'll bless your name while I am living

Forever and always!

A place you have prepared for me For heaven is my home

So in the New Jerusalem We see the Kingdom Come

But even before that glorious day But here and now we rest

We enter in and here we'll stay For you complete our quest

I will enter your gates with thanksgiving

And go into your courts with praise

I'll bless your name while I am living

Forever and always!

In You I'll rest when day is done For you're the home where I abide

A blood-bought servant yet a son So in your household I 'll reside.

I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice, While I have breath to praise;

Your courts shall make my heart rejoice, The remnant of my days.

I will enter your gates with thanksgiving

And go into your courts with praise

I'll bless your name while I am living

Forever and always!
