BETWEEN THE GATES

Intro (spoken)
Eyes open, spirit awake.
Heaven feel close tonight.

Verse 1
I wake up in the world but my soul feel foreign
Dust on my shoes but my heart feel warned
Every street got a door I could walk right through
But every open gate ain’t approved by You
Screens glow bright, truth feel thin
Wide roads packed, everybody rushin’ in
They say “do what you feel,” “live your way”
But the Bible said life only one way

I seen gates in my dreams, silent and tall
Some dressed in gold but led to a fall
Matthew 7 echo in my chest
Wide gate crowded, narrow gate blessed
I stood still while the masses ran
Chose obedience over popular plans
Didn’t feel brave, didn’t feel strong
Just knew deep down which gate was wrong

Hook
I been livin’ between heaven and reality
One foot earth, one foot eternity
Every choice feel like destiny
Every gate ask who I really be
Not every door got life behind it
Not every light really from Him
I don’t move unless Christ say “enter”
I live between the gates
But JESUS the center

Verse 2
Jacob slept stone, woke up changed
Called that place a gate, heaven engaged
Angels up, angels down
God still movin’ though the world feel loud
Joseph dreamed before famine came
Daniel saw kings before they reigned
Dreams ain’t escape, they instructions clear
Heaven speak when the heart sincere

But I don’t chase realms, I chase the cross
I don’t open doors at any cost
Jesus said plainly, no metaphor
“I am the Way, I am the Door”
Blood on the frame like Exodus night
Death pass over when the Lamb in sight
I don’t drift worlds, I stay aligned
Between heaven and earth, I choose Christ

Bridge (half-time)
Lift your head, ancient gates
King of Glory enter space
I don’t force what You delay
I wait, I pray, I obey

Final Hook
I been livin’ between heaven and reality
But my home is eternity
Earth shake, still my soul stay steady
‘Cause I stand where You let me
Not every open door is freedom
Not every closed door loss
I don’t chase gates, I chase Your face
I choose the narrow cross

Outro (spoken)
“I am the Door.”
“I am the Way.”
Between the gates—
I stay.
