[Verse 1]
I was wandering in the wasteland, chasing shadows in the night
Every road I took was empty, every wrong felt so right
I heard a distant echo calling through the weight of my mistakes
Like a voice beyond the heavens saying, “Child, arise, awake”
[Pre-Chorus]
Through the noise, through the doubt
You were reaching through the clouds
Every step I tried to run
Still led me to Your love
[Chorus]
I’m called by the golden gates, where Your glory never fades
Where the broken find their healing in the light of endless grace
I hear Heaven sing my name, through the mercy, through the pain
I was lost but now I’m found—
I’m called by the golden gates
[Verse 2]
I was drowning in the silence, every breath a desperate plea
Trying to carry all my burdens, but they were crushing me
Then Your hands broke through the darkness, pulled me from the grave
Now I’m living in the freedom only You could ever give
[Pre-Chorus]
Every chain fell apart
When You spoke into my heart
Now I see what I was made for—
I don’t fight it anymore
[Chorus]
I’m called by the golden gates, where Your glory never fades
Where the broken find their healing in the light of endless grace
I hear Heaven sing my name, through the mercy, through the pain
I was lost but now I’m found—
I’m called by the golden gates
[Bridge – Screamed / Heavy]
I was dead, I was buried in the shame!
But You shattered every darkness with Your name!
Now I rise, I’m alive, I’m unchained—
I’M NOT THE SAME
You tore the veil, You made a way
Through every fear, through every flame
I’ll shout it till the skies break open wide—
MY KING IS ALIVE
[Breakdown / Soft → Heavy]
Call me out of the grave again
Breathe Your life in these lungs again
I’m Yours, I’m Yours till the end—
Till the end…
[Final Chorus]
I’m called by the golden gates, where Your glory never fades
Where the broken find their healing in the light of endless grace
I hear Heaven sing my name, through the mercy, through the pain
I was lost but now I’m found—
I’m called by the golden gates
[Outro]
When I stand in that holy place
I’ll remember amazing grace
Every tear, every trial faced—
Led me home… to Your gates
