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.
