Ancient Gates
Brooke Ligertwood Lyrics

There is singing at the ancient gates
There is a constant, unceasing song of praise being sung at the gates of heaven

There's a melody of ceaseless praise
The song being sung is a continuous melody of unending worship

Age to age, the sound is only growing stronger
Throughout the years, the sound of worship at the gates of heaven only continues to grow in strength and power

There's a throne beneath the Name of Names
Beneath the Most Holy Name of God, there is a throne situated in the heavenly realm

There is seated on it One who reigns
One who rules and reigns over all of creation sits on the throne

And His Kingdom now is here and getting closer
The reign of God is already present and increasing, and one day His Kingdom will be fully established on earth

So praise Him like we're there in glory
We should worship God as if we were already in His presence in heaven

Here and now He's just as holy
God is just as holy and worthy of our worship in our current earthly state

Jesus He's so worthy of it all, hey
Jesus is deserving of all our worship and praise because of His greatness and glory

He exists in everlasting light
God exists in an eternal, unchanging state of light and glory

So on heaven's streets, there is no night
In heaven, there is no darkness or sadness because God's light shines continuously

Every tear is wiped away, we'll know no sorrow
In the presence of God, all pain and sorrow will be taken away and we will experience everlasting joy

Yeah, worship Him with joyful sound
We should worship God with a joyful, exuberant noise and celebration

Oh, sing until your voice gives out
Sing until there is nothing left to give, pouring out all of our worship to God

No matter where or who's around, release your worship, woo!
No matter the circumstances, we should freely express our worship and adoration to God

The One who was, the One who is, The One who is to come
God has been, is currently, and will always be present and active in our lives and in the world

Bring your song, He loves to hear it
God loves to hear our worship and praise, so we should bring our songs and hearts to Him

Bring Him every prayer soaked lyric
We should give God every part of ourselves, including our heartfelt prayers and worshipful lyrics

Jesus, He's so worthy of it all
Jesus is infinitely deserving of all our worship and devotion

Jesus, He's so worthy, worthy, worthy of it all
We should repeat and affirm the worthiness and greatness of Jesus, knowing that He is deserving of all our praise and honor
