Gravel & Grace - Lord, Are The Gates Still Open (feat. Arthur Hayes) Lyrics

Verse 1

I traded gold for shifting sand
I walked away from father's land
The coat of colors now is torn
I curse the day that I was born
The world I chased has left me cold
A story bought, a spirit sold
I'm eating dust where shadows lie
Beneath this empty, foreign sky
The hunger wakes me from my sleep
Is there a promise you still keep?

Chorus

Lord, are the gates still open
For a heart so broken
I am running home
No more to roam
I see your arms stretched out to me
Across the calm and raging sea
If you can love a wretch like this
Then seal my pardon with a key

Verse 2

I thought I'd walk the path alone
And beg a servant's bread and stone
But you were watching from the hill
Your love was standing, waiting still
You didn't wait for me to speak
You saw the tears upon my cheek
You ran to meet me on the way
And turned my midnight into day

Chorus

Lord, are the gates still open
For a heart so broken
I am running home
No more to roam
I see your arms stretched out to me
Across the calm and raging sea
If you can love a wretch like this
Then seal my pardon with a key

Bridge

Put the ring upon my hand
Bring the robe and heal the land
I was dead but now I breathe
Because of you I believe

Outro

Lord, are the gates still open
For a heart so broken
I am running home
I see your arms stretched out to me
The road ends here
I am... home
Home
