The gates of hell are broken, the fetters have to fall;
God's grace and mercy keep me, His peace envelops all.
A broken, humbled spirit, a heart that loves my Lord,
I'll love and serve Him always, I'm marching heaven'ward.
My past is all forsaken, my paths of heinous sin -
My sin of unforgiveness His blood has covered in.
My anger, wrath, and malice, my sin of wilful pride
No longer may torment me; for them My Saviour died.
All glory, power, and honour to Christ My Lord and King,
I'll never cease to love Him, and give Him everything.
I'll thank Him, praise, and serve Him until He says, "Come Home"
Then worship Him forever with angels 'round His throne.
