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
