Open to me the glorious righteous gates,
Your humble servant stands and waits;
I will go through them and praise the Lord,
I am one who always has loved and adored;
This is the gate only righteous shall enter,
For it's the only shortcut to the center;
I will praise thee knowing he has heard me,
Such a joy with knowledge of being sin free;
Truly the Lord became my rock and salvation.
To become the cornerstone of my foundation;
The same stone which the builders refused,
They seemed to be dazed and confused;
It's God's work and marvelous to our eyes,
As all of his angels sing and fill the skies;
This is the day that the Lord has formed,
Let's rejoice and be glad being informed;
I beseech thee to send prosperity now,
For the Lord I will take a solemn vow;
To give thanks unto the Lord all days,
His compassion and mercy endures always.
