I'm waiting at the gate looking for my ride

Soon to take me to my home on high

Angel bands a coming From the other side

I don't want to be late I'm waiting at the gate



I can hear the thunder the time's at hand

Joybells are ringing in the promised land

Jesus is a coming my soul to take

Yes my Lord sees me waiting at the gate



I'm a' leaving the world no more to do

All of my work on earth is through

I've fought the fight I've kept the faith

Well I'm ready to go I'm waiting at the gate
