Outside the Gate

V1

Sometimes our eyes with tears run over

When pain and sorrow is our fate

But when this race is finally over

We’ll leave it all outside the gate

 

CH

But, inside the gate, inside the portals

We’ll sing and shout and celebrate

There’ll be no pain, no sorrow, no crying

We’ll leave it all outside the gate

 

V2

We’ll see the Lord, our dad and mother

We’ve said goodbye and they now await

Soon you and I will make that same journey

Friend, don’t be left outside the gate

CH

But, inside the gate, inside the portals

We’ll sing and shout and celebrate

There’ll be no pain, no sorrow, no crying

We’ll leave it all outside the gate

Tag

There’ll be no pain, no sorrow, no crying

We’ll leave it all outside the gate

Tag 2

Friends plan to meet inside the gate

And then we’ll sing and celebrate inside the gate
