Enter His Gates

Lyrics

Enter His Gates

[Intro]

I won’t come empty
I won’t come cold
I’ll enter with thanksgiving
For the mercy I know

[Verse 1]

I could’ve been lost
But You kept me near
I could’ve been broken
But You dried my tears

I could’ve lost faith
But You held my hand
Now I come to worship
The best way I can

Psalm one hundred says
Enter His gates with praise
So I lift up my voice
And bless Your name today

[Chorus]

I enter Your gates
With thanksgiving
I enter Your courts
With praise

I bless Your name
For Your mercy
You’ve been faithful
All my days

In Your presence
I am grateful
In Your presence
I am free

Lord, receive my worship
It’s coming from me

[Verse 2]

I’m not waiting on perfect
I’m not waiting on more
I’ve got enough reason
To bless You, Lord

You woke me this morning
You kept me last night
You stood in my trouble
And made wrong things right

So I won’t be silent
I won’t hold my song
You’ve been too faithful
For too long

[Chorus]

I enter Your gates
With thanksgiving
I enter Your courts
With praise

I bless Your name
For Your mercy
You’ve been faithful
All my days

In Your presence
I am grateful
In Your presence
I am free

Lord, receive my worship
It’s coming from me

[Bridge]

Thank You for mercy
Thank You for grace
Thank You for keeping me
Day after day

Thank You for healing
Thank You for peace
Thank You for every way
You keep blessing me

[Vamp]

Thank You
Thank You
Lord, I thank You

Thank You
Thank You
Lord, I praise You

I enter
With praise
I enter
With thanks

I bless You
I love You
I give You
All I have

[Outro]

I won’t come empty
I won’t come cold
I’ll enter with thanksgiving
For the mercy I know
