Lift the Gates of Heaven
How deep and dark and hopeless sank
The valley of our sin
God's holy mountain high above
Which no one could ascend
We'd scorned the God of Jacob's face
Our hands and hearts were stained
But Jesus worshipped in our place
And in our place was slain
Now risen from the grave, He's worthy!
Lift the gates of Heaven
Let the King of Glory in
Triumphant over death
King Jesus rends the Holy curtain
Let our High Priest enter in
To plead in our defense
King Jesus lives!
How deep and fathomless the love
And mercy of our God
He gave His one and only Son
Who gave His precious blood
To purchase and redeem the lost
And wash away their sin
For on the cross, He paid our cost
And joined us to Him
To lift us from our graves to glory!
The valley of our sin
God's holy mountain high above
Which no one could ascend
We'd scorned the God of Jacob's face
Our hands and hearts were stained
But Jesus worshipped in our place
And in our place was slain
Now risen from the grave, He's worthy!
Lift the gates of Heaven
Let the King of Glory in
Triumphant over death
King Jesus rends the Holy curtain
Let our High Priest enter in
To plead in our defense
King Jesus lives!
How deep and fathomless the love
And mercy of our God
He gave His one and only Son
Who gave His precious blood
To purchase and redeem the lost
And wash away their sin
For on the cross, He paid our cost
And joined us to Him
To lift us from our graves to glory!
