Gates of Righteousness

Open for me the gates of righteousness and I will enter in

I will give thanks unto the Lord ans we enter it begins.

The place from which He ruleth-The place where we may meet

The holy place within our hearts-Where communion is complete.

The Heart holds the gate of the Lord most High where the righteous enter in

I'll give you thanks - you answered me and saved from my sin

You have become salvation to every one who'll receive

The rejected stone has now become-The capstone for all who'll believe

Gates of righteousness that the saviour opens wide

Everlasting doors unlock that we may come inside

Your gates will stand wide open- your banner we will raise

Your walls will be salvation- your gates you will call praise

The Lord has done this wondrous thing- it is marvelous in our eyes

This is the day that the Lord has made- let's rejoice and be glad as we realize

This is the day of God's favor- this is salvation's day

This is now the appointed time- this is the only way.

Gates of righteousness that the saviour opens wide

Everlasting doors unlock that we may come inside

Your gates will stand wide open- your banner we will raise

Your walls will be salvation- your gates you will call praise
