When the Gates Swing Open
Through the years, I keep on toiling
Lord, I am toiling through the storm and rain
Lord, I'm patiently waiting and watching
For the Savior to come again
And, Lord, I'm coming home, Lord
Every day, I keep trusting in your word
And, Lord, keep (keep me from the paths of sin) every day of my life
Lord, hide me in your love
And when it's all over I want you to write down my name above
And, Lord, when the gates swing open, I may be better down that day, oh
(I'll walk in) did you hear what I said? I won't come myself
Lord, teach me how to treat my neighbor
Every day, I want you to teach me how to love my friends
Lord, fill me, fill me with your Holy Spirit
Until the Savior, I'm waiting on Jesus to come again
Lord, hide me in your love, please Lord
And when it's all over I want you to write down my name above
Lord, when the gates swing open, oh Father
I'll walk in
Lord, I'm tired and my soul need resting
Lord, I'm so tired of being 'buked and scorned
Friends talk about me and my enemies misuse me
I keep marching on, until you come and carry me home
Lord, hide me, hide me in your love
Father, when it's all over, please write down my name above
Lord, when the gates swing open
Lord, when (Father) the gates swing open
I may be burning down
Lord, when, when the gates swing open
While I hope you'll be with me that morning
(When the gates swing open) without mind open, hey
(When the gates swing open) welcome home, I know you had a hard time, come on home
(When the gates swing open) come on home, thank you, thank you Father, thank you Father
I wanna thank you for holding with me
(When the gates swing open) and stand for me, thank you Lord, thank you Father
(When the gates swing open) thank you, thank you Lord, you've been so good to me
(When the gates swing open) oh, oh, thank you Father
(When the gates swing open) I'll be so glad, I'll be so glad
Lord, I am toiling through the storm and rain
Lord, I'm patiently waiting and watching
For the Savior to come again
And, Lord, I'm coming home, Lord
Every day, I keep trusting in your word
And, Lord, keep (keep me from the paths of sin) every day of my life
Lord, hide me in your love
And when it's all over I want you to write down my name above
And, Lord, when the gates swing open, I may be better down that day, oh
(I'll walk in) did you hear what I said? I won't come myself
Lord, teach me how to treat my neighbor
Every day, I want you to teach me how to love my friends
Lord, fill me, fill me with your Holy Spirit
Until the Savior, I'm waiting on Jesus to come again
Lord, hide me in your love, please Lord
And when it's all over I want you to write down my name above
Lord, when the gates swing open, oh Father
I'll walk in
Lord, I'm tired and my soul need resting
Lord, I'm so tired of being 'buked and scorned
Friends talk about me and my enemies misuse me
I keep marching on, until you come and carry me home
Lord, hide me, hide me in your love
Father, when it's all over, please write down my name above
Lord, when the gates swing open
Lord, when (Father) the gates swing open
I may be burning down
Lord, when, when the gates swing open
While I hope you'll be with me that morning
(When the gates swing open) without mind open, hey
(When the gates swing open) welcome home, I know you had a hard time, come on home
(When the gates swing open) come on home, thank you, thank you Father, thank you Father
I wanna thank you for holding with me
(When the gates swing open) and stand for me, thank you Lord, thank you Father
(When the gates swing open) thank you, thank you Lord, you've been so good to me
(When the gates swing open) oh, oh, thank you Father
(When the gates swing open) I'll be so glad, I'll be so glad
