Heaven's Gate
Robin Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the suffering of the cross
And the presence of Your father
For the friendship of the Lost
Now we know there was no other way
To release this world from sin
You endured the cross, despised the shame
Opened Heavens gates
So that we might enter in
You took on the form of servant
All Your Godly glory veiled
For this broken world submitted
To the cross, the thorns, the nails
Now we know there was no other way
To release this world from sin
You endured the cross, despised the shame
Opened Heavens gates, Opened Heavens gates
So that we might enter in
You opened the Gates of Heaven
You opened the Gates of Heaven
And now we′re free to enter in
The song "Heaven's Gate" by Robin Mark is a tribute to Jesus Christ for his ultimate sacrifice on the cross that opened the gates of heaven for the humanity. The first verse of the song talks about how Jesus Christ exchanged the joy of heaven for the suffering of the cross and the presence of his father for the friendship of the lost. This means that Jesus left his heavenly abode and came to this world to save mankind from sin by dying on the cross. The second verse describes how Jesus took on the form of a servant and submitted himself to the cross, thorns, and nails, veiling his Godly glory for the broken world. The chorus reiterates that there was no other way to release the world from sin, but to endure the cross, despise the shame, and open the gates of heaven so that mankind might enter.
The lyrics of "Heaven's Gate" by Robin Mark strike a chord with many believers because it reminds them of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which paved the way for all believers to enter heaven.

You exchanged the Joy of Heaven
You gave up the happiness in heaven
For the suffering of the cross
In exchange for enduring the pain of the cross
And the presence of Your father
And forfeiting the company of your father
For the friendship of the Lost
To form bonds with those who were lost
Now we know there was no other way
It was clear that there was only one option
To release this world from sin
To rid the world of its impurities
You endured the cross, despised the shame
You dealt with the cross and the humiliation
Opened Heavens gates
Unlocked the doors to heaven
Opened Heavens gates
Unlocked the doors to heaven
So that we might enter in
So that we too may gain entry
You took on the form of servant
You assumed the role of a servant
All Your Godly glory veiled
You concealed your divine magnificence
For this broken world submitted
For this world, already in disarray, yielded to you
To the cross, the thorns, the nails
To the torture of the crucifixion
You opened the Gates of Heaven
You opened the doors to heaven
You opened the Gates of Heaven
You opened the doors to heaven
And now we′re free to enter in
Now we have the liberty to enter
