THOSE GATES  ©️ 2026 G. Smith (BMI) >~~<~~~~~||~~~~~><~~ The load may be heavy, The road may be long, My back may be bent, I’m not so strong. I may be stooped and weary, Still I make my way, Bent but unbroken, Towards those pearly gates. Bent but unbroken, Towards those pearly gates.

Storm clouds may gather, And rain may fall, Still I know blue sky waits  Above it all. And when the nighttime comes, Still I make my way, Seeing the sunlight, On those pearly gates. Seeing the sunlight, On those pearly gates.

Trials may be many, But they’re worth the cost, Otherwise all, Would be for naught.

His yoke is easy, His burden is light, So I can stand up straight, And face the fight. But it’s not my effort, That makes the way, It’s His nail-scarred hands, Holding open those gates.
