You saw me at the gate of the worldYou washed my feetI knew you at the gate of the worldGave you something to eatThe gentle waves washed over usNow here we areLeaning on our shepherd’s staffAnd following a starWe would have missed us if we hadn’t come this farI’ll love you at the gate of the worldGod healed me at the gate of the worldNow I see againYou were lonely at the gate of the worldI am your friendThe pulse of this great dying earthIs in our earsAnd the wrong we’ve doneThe wars we’ve foughtBring on the tearsBut we’ll hold fast the faith and hopeThat brought us hereLeft us at the gate of the worldThe gentle waves washed over usNow here we areLeaning on our shepherd’s staffAnd following a starWe would have missed us if we hadn’t come this farI’ll love you at the gate of the worldI dreamt of nations at the gate of the worldLaying down their gunsAnd peace fell at the gate of the worldOn everyoneAnd high upon a thousand hillsThe angels sangAnd understanding filled the heart of every manThey knew that they would never pass this way againWe’re passing through the gate of the world
