The Lord had disciplined me,
But He allowed me to live;
Because of insight to see,
On confession to forgive.
He opened the gates for me,
And will be going through them;
With righteousness joyfully,
Knowing He will not condemn.
This is the gate of the Lord,
Where the righteous go through;
As He is praised and adored,
That is now including you.
I must give Him thanks and praise,
Because He has answered me;
Watching over me always,
No matter on land or sea.
For the Lord is my Savior,
The stone builders rejected;
The cornerstone some deplore,
But righteously perfected.
The Lord is responsible,
For us it is amazing;
But made us accountable,
For worshipping and praising.
This is the day God has made,
Let us rejoice and be glad;
Get rid of being afraid,
No more need for to feel sad.
We beg the Lord to rescue,
And ask to give us success;
With a different point of view,
For I know that He will bless.
Blessed who comes in His name,
Blessing the Lord in His house;
Freely able to proclaim,
When worshipping with my spouse.
The Lord is God and is light,
Giving honor thanking Him;
Glory that is shining so bright,
Glowing with spiritual vim.
