The Evergreen ‎#22a

22a. At The Gate

1 I'm waiting at the gate, Jesus,
With all my load of sin,
If I am not too late, Jesus,
Oh, come and let me in.

Chorus:
I'm kneeling at the gate,
With all my load of sin,
If I am not too late,
Dear Jesus, let me in!

2 I want to walk with thee, Jesus,
Along the narrow way,
Oh, reach thy hand to me, Jesus,
Oh, let me in today! [Chorus]

3 I'm praying at the gate, Jesus,
Thy blood is all my plea;
My sins I know are great, Jesus,
But thou hast died for me. [Chorus]

4 I want to share thy love, Jesus,
And rest in thine embrace,
And in thy courts above, Jesus,
Forever see thy face. [Chorus]
