Open the Gate
You opened the gate Lord and I walked right through
My life is so different now because of You
You made me an instrument of your love
This song is to praise You my Father above
Growing up without a Rock to stand on, I look back on my life
Purpose, meaning, I was searching
In moments of desperation lost, I was completely lost at times
Then I learned about You, what should I do
And then one day I asked You in
And you opened the Gate Lord and I walked right through
My life is so different now because of You
You made me an instrument of Your love
This song is to praise You my Father above
It truly has been a long journey, glancing in the past
Christians asking, inviting me in
Until I opened my heart, couldn’t see just what they had
And it was grace and mercy and forgiveness
Still can’t believe You died for me
And you opened the Gate Lord and I walked right through
My life is so different now because of You
You made me an instrument of Your love
This song is to praise You my Father above
So many years I didn’t know You
Couldn’t see Your face
No hope, no trust, no faith
How did I survive? I barely got by
And I remember how I used to cry
Til you opened the Gate Lord and I walked right through
My life is so different now because of You
You made me an instrument of Your love
This song is to praise You my Father above
His hand is reaching out for you
I pray this song will inspire you
Open your mind, your heart, your eyes, your ears
The Gate is right here
