This song is from David Crowder. He calls on us to embrace the gospel message. Crowder says, "Lift your head weary sinner." Why? To change our focus from the law and our brokenness, back to God's love and forgiveness. Thanks be to God, because of His love, that the gates of glory are open wide!
Verses for Consideration:
John 10:10 ESV
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Psalm 24:7-10 ESV
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! Selah
Lyrics:
Lift your head weary sinner, the river's just ahead Down the path of forgiveness, salvation's waiting there You built a mighty fortress 10,000 burdens high Love is here to lift you up, here to lift you high
If you're lost and wandering Come stumbling in like a prodigal child See the walls start crumbling Let the gates of glory open wide
All who've strayed and walked away, unspeakable things you've done Fix your eyes on the mountain, let the past be dead and gone Come all saints and sinners, you can't outrun God Whatever you've done can't overcome the power of the blood
If you're lost and wandering Come stumbling in like a prodigal child See the walls start crumbling Let the gates of glory open wide
If you're lost and wrecked again Come stumbling in like a prodigal child See the walls start crumbling Let the gates of glory be open wide
Lost and wandering Come stumbling in like a prodigal child See the walls start crumbling Let the gates of glory open wide
If you're lost and wrecked again Come stumbling in like a prodigal child See the walls start crumbling Let the gates of glory be open wide Let the gates of glory be open wide Let the gates of glory be open wide
