Misc Praise Songs – Rebecca Salonen - The Gates Are Open (Guitar)

       C                  F     G7      G
In the twilight, lost and weary once we walked,

      A                C     G
Where promised flowers never bloomed;

      C                    F            G7    C
Where hearts, found empty, closed their heavy doors;

    Am           Dm       C      G C
But ever was the nameless search resumed.

                   F              C
For wide before us open stand the gates.

    G              D         C    G    C
Now he has come to wield the priceless key.

 C                  F           G7       C
Around his feet all earth bears fruit of joy

    C      G    Am  D        G       C
And in his love the day sets all men free!

       C                F       G7       G
On the shores of day we leave behind the night,

    A                 C              G 
Abandoned leave there long forgotten dreams;

   C               F       G7     C
No more we thirst upon the desert plain,

    Am                 Dm     C  G   C
Nor seek to drink dark waters of the stream.

                   F              C
For wide before us open stand the gates.

    G              D         C    G    C
Now he has come to wield the priceless key.

 C                  F           G7       C
Around his feet all earth bears fruit of joy

    C      G    Am  D        G       C
And in his love the day sets all men free!
