[Verse 1]
You saw me at the gate of the world
You washed my feet
I knew you at the gate of the world
Gave you something to eat
[Chorus 1]
The gentle waves washed over us, now here we are
Leaning on our shepherd's staff and following a star
We would have missed us if we hadn't come this far
I'll love you at the gate of the world
[Verse 2]
God healed me at the gate of the world
Now I see again
You were lonely at the gate of the world
I am your friend
[Chorus 2]
The pulse of this great dying earth is in our ears
And the wrong we've done, the wars we've fought bring on the tears
But we'll hold fast the faith and hope that brought us here
And left us at the gate of the world
[Chorus 1]
The gentle waves washed over us, now here we are
Leaning on our shepherd's staff and following a star
We would have missed us if we hadn't come this far
I'll love you at the gate of the world
[Verse 3]
I dreamt of nations at the gate of the world
Laying down their guns
And peace fell at the gate of the world
On everyone
[Chorus 3]
And high upon a thousand hills, the angels sang
And understanding filled the heart of every man
They knew that they would never pass this way again
We're passing through the gate of the world

The liner notes to Kalhoun say of “Gate of the World”:
It’s the global village and Christ is among the villagers. He’s not hard to miss- He’s the thirsty child and the homeless, hungry beggar. The grand finale.
