I'm waitin' at the gate (I'm waitin' at the gate) lookin' for my ride (lookin' for my ride)
Soon to take me (soon to take me) to my home on high
Angel band's a comin' (angel band's a-comin') from the other side (from the other side)
I don't want to be late (I don't want to late) I'm waitin' at the gate

I can hear the thunder the time's at hand
Joy bells are ringin' in the promised land
Jesus is comin' my soul to take
Yes my Lord sees me (yes my Lord sees me) waiting at the gate

I'm leavin' this world (I'm leavin' this world) no more to do (no more to do)
All of my work on Earth is through (on Earth is through)
I've fought the fight (I've fought the fight) I've kept the faith (I've kept the faith)
Well I'm ready to go (I'm ready to go) I'm waiting at the gate
