Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stood at the border of my own regret,
A skyline of promises I could not enter.
My past clung tight like iron and debt,
Every handle turned, every hope surrendered.
In the hush of night, mercy found my breath,
A quiet power stronger than my fear of death.

[Pre-Chorus]
I knocked with a heart rehearsing blame,
Unsure if heaven still knew my name.
Then grace arrived without delay,
Reading my wounds, then clearing the way.

[Chorus]
He opened the gate for me,
When my hands had lost belief.
He opened the gate for me,
Loved me past my history.
I was buried under judgment and sin,
He called me family.
He opened the gate for me.

[Verse 2]
I counted my failures like beads on a chain,
Tried to bargain love with penance and pain.
You met me with time that never decays,
Said, “Come a little closer, lift up your face.”
You clothed my shame in a garment of light,
Turned my long exile into home that night.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I had nothing left to defend my case,
My hope worn thin by the miles I faced.
But mercy does not measure the ground,
It moves toward the lost when they make no sound.

[Chorus]
He opened the gate for me,
When my knees learned how to pray.
He opened the gate for me,
Spoke dawn into my darkest day.
I was held by the weight of my sin,
He called me family.
He opened the gate for me.

[Bridge]
I could not earn what love designed,
A covenant written beyond my time.
From the cross to the stone rolled free,
That victory still reaches me.
Every lock surrendered to grace,
Every shadow released its claim.

[Chorus – Lifted]
He opened the gate for me,
Washed my name in victory.
He opened the gate for me,
Set my tomorrow free.
I was bound in the weight of my sin,
Now alive, redeemed.
He opened the gate for me.

[Outro]
I walk in a light I did not create,
Bearing witness to unearned grace.
Forever grateful, forever free,
He opened the gate for me.
