[Verse 1]
I'm a'waitin' at the gate (I'm a'waitin' at the gate)
Lookin' for my ride (lookin' for my ride)
Soon to take me (soon to take me)
To my home on high (my home on high)
Angel bands a'coming (angel bands coming)
From the other side (from the other side)
I don't wanna to be late (I don't wanna be late)
I'm a'waitin' at the gate
[Chorus]
I can hear the thunder, the time's at hand
Joybells are ringin' in the Promised Land
Jesus is a'comin' my soul to take
Yes, my Lord sees me (yes, my Lord sees me)
Waitin' at the gate
[Instrumental Break -- Acoustic Guitar featured]
[Verse 2]
I'm a'leavin' this world (I'm a'leavin' this world)
No more to do (no more to do)
All 'a my work (all 'a my work)
On earth is through (on earth is through)
I've fought the fight (I've fought the fight)
An' I've kept the faith (An' I've kept the faith)
Well, I'm ready to go (I'm ready to go)
I'm waitin' at the gate
[Chorus]
I can hear the thunder, the time's at hand
Joybells are ringin' in the Promised Land
Jesus is a'comin' my soul to take
Yes, my Lord sees me (yes, my Lord sees me)
Waitin' at the gate
[Instrumental Break -- Guitar featured]
[Chorus]
I can hear the thunder, the time's at hand
Joybells are ringin' in the Promised Land
Jesus is a'comin' my soul to take
Yes, my Lord sees me (yes, my Lord sees me)
Waitin' at the gate
[Outro]
Yes, my Lord sees me (yes, my Lord sees me)
Waitin' at the gate
Yes, my Lord sees me (yes, my Lord sees me)
Waitin' at the gate
