WHEN THE GOLDEN GATES OPENED

INTRO

CHOIR:
Open wide eternal gates
The King of Glory enters in
Open wide eternal gates
The risen Lamb has entered in

SUNG INTRO:

Golden light across the skyline
Heaven touching earth tonight
Every nation singing holy
Christ alive in endless light

VERSE 1

I saw the morning break above the old walls
Jerusalem glowing while the trumpet calls
Palm branches waving in the warm wind
Children singing while the King walked in

Prophets saw the day before it happened
Daniel counted down the sacred pattern
Zechariah watched the donkey pathway
Now the timeline blooms into the gateway

Temple stones shaking underneath Heaven
Roman banners fading in the distance
Every empire thinking it was endless
Till the Lamb stepped in and split existence

No more fear hanging over generations
No more death swallowing the nations
Christ alive became the final answer
Resurrection dancing through the future

SUNG HOOK

When the golden gates opened
Mercy flooded history
When the golden gates opened
The Lamb rewrote eternity

CHOIR RESPONSE

Hosanna Hosanna
Blessed is the King
Hosanna Hosanna
Let all creation sing

RAP VERSE 2

Now the city glowing through the rainfall
Blue neon mixed with throne-room fireballs
Children dancing by the crystal fountains
Choirs echoing off golden mountains

South African praise inside the heavens
Log drums rolling through the stars forever
Every rhythm moving with redemption
Like the cosmos learned resurrection

I hear Soweto choirs in the skyline
Warm harmonies flowing through the nighttime
Brenda joy exploding through the speakers
Yvonne warmth moving through the people

Not dystopia not machine religion
Christ alive became the future vision
Not cold circuits ruling over nations
But the Lamb restoring all creation

SUNG PRE-HOOK

Can you hear the city singing
Can you feel the heavens moving
Can you see the rivers glowing
Christ has made all things new

CHOIR BRIDGE

Open every gate now
Lift your voices higher
The King of Glory reigns
Through resurrection fire

Open every gate now
Lift your praises stronger
The Lamb upon the throne
Will reign forever longer

VERSE 3

I saw grandmothers dancing beside children
Every tribe alive in resurrection
Crystal rivers flowing through the city
Golden architecture singing with them

No more hospital rooms filled with silence
No more gravestones crowned with human violence
No more lonely souls beneath the system
Now the King has brought us all to freedom

Tiny Nazarene silhouette below
Holding Scripture while the warm winds blow
Gentle teacher standing in the glory
Watching Christ restore the human story

Even time itself became like music
Every century filled with holy movement
The gates opened and the world transformed
By the risen everlasting Lord

FINAL HOOK

When the golden gates opened
Death began to lose
When the golden gates opened
Heaven touched the wounded world

When the golden gates opened
Choirs filled eternity
When the golden gates opened
Christ became our victory

OUTRO

CHOIR:
Lift up your heads
Lift up your heads
The King has entered in

Lift up your heads
Lift up your heads
The risen Lamb has entered in
