Open the Gates
Verse 1:
Tears have fallen and flow like rivers,
Blood has stained the ground where children shiver.
Men have fallen into hands of the deceiver,
Trading their souls for fleeting pleasures.
Pre-Chorus:
Let’s raise our voice beneath the dome; let our cries resound and shake the earth.
Come, let’s petition the deeds of men, that the earth be restored to its lasting glory.
Chorus:
Open the gates; let His Majesty ride through with all the saints.
Open the gates; welcome the King of kings whose throne bows to none.
Open the gates; let the Prince of Peace walk in and heal the broken heart.
Open the gates; let the wicked see the One their hearts reject.
Verse 2:
Nations tremble, the mighty fall from grace,
Greed and power have darkened every place.
Hearts grow cold as love fades from the land,
Yet we await the Lord, with mercy in His hand. Pre-Chorus + Chorus
