The Gate

[Verse 1]
It’s over now
There’s no more purpose for my lungs ‘cause I’m not breathing
If I thought that I was still alive, then I'd think I was dreaming
I just left the earth, my soul escaped my body now
I’m dead
And I’m rising into the heavens to find out what lies ahead
This life is over and my time is done on earth
There’s no more stressing
I’m about to meet the One that gave me all my life and blessings

[Verse 2]
Now is time to hear His voice, and it’s time to feel His embrace
And it's that time to meet my God and now it's time to see His face
I’m at the gate and I don’t wanna wait
I wanna see my Savior, I'ma feel His presence
Have His safety and bathe in His favor
Wait
They open up the gates, and sunlight dances through the entrance
If I was alive, I’d pass out from the beauty of His presence
I can sense Him all around me, I can feel Him every place
He’s here, I feel it, but that’s not enough
I wanna see His face

[Verse 3]
They close the gate as I walk in
Now any memories are useless, any earthly love is worthless
'Cause no other can produce this
So much color
So much life and wind and sun and love and music
So much happiness
God loves us and this paradise can prove it
Where’s He at though?
I just wanna see His face, I’ll be around it
And I’m walking in the streets of gold, but
I ain’t get my crown yet

[Verse 4]
Wait
I feel something, I turn around
And I catch eyes with His
Now I’ve never seen Him before
But I still know who it is
Right now, I’m face to face with Jesus
Looking God right in the eyes
Immediately I bowed, and if I was alive I would have cried
Now God was always right beside me
But I see Him, I can touch Him
I’ll exalt him, I'ma praise Him, magnify Him 'cause I love Him
And I'll tell Him
"You’re my King, this happiness can not be doubled
You’re my Rock, my life, my ever-present help in times of trouble
And I love You, God I love You, for eternity I’ll show You!"
But He looks me in the eye
Then He whispers
"Do I know you?"

[Verse 5]
Do You know me?
Yeah… You made me!
I was in church every service
But He tells me
"Church without applying what you learnt is worthless"
But I was a choir member
I praised You with poems and acting
But He says He checked the Book of Life
And that my name was absent
And I’m laughing like, there must be a mistake
I just won’t hear it
Then He says I praised Him, but I didn’t have Him in my spirit
I can’t bear it, Lord I thought I gave You praise wholeheartedly
But then He turns His head away
And then He says "Depart from Me"

[Verse 6]
I start to scream, but it's too late
Immediately I feel the flame, and I’m ashamed
It’s me to blame
I could have stopped all of this pain
Life ended like this for me
This ain't how I wanted it to conclude

[Verse 7]
That’s why in real life there won’t be
But don’t let this be your future
You may go to church, but man, you gotta live it
Don’t be two-faced, don’t be hypocrites
Guys, don’t be dogs, and ladies, don’t be loose-lips
We ain’t got no time, so right now, drop the games
And lift your hands and let Him in before it ends
Just praise Him while we have the chance
