Your Holy Gate

Your gate, O Lord, a holy gate,
     And through it we must pass—
Forever leave our sinful state
     If Your truth we’re to grasp.

For falsehood we must leave behind
     And with it all our sin
If we’re to join Your humankind
     And be all Yours again.

For with You there is no half-way—
     It’s all or nothing now.
If we’re to see your light of day,
     Our whole hearts we must bow.

For holy are the ones you love,
     Washed clean in your shed Blood;
With holy hearts join You above—
     Are cleansed by saving flood. 

We join all those above with You.
     We’re here but not by chance,
For You in us clean hearts now view—
     All join in heaven’s dance.
