1. Where the streets have no name
you get rewarded or blamed
you´re free or in flames
you sing or curse your own name
Where time has gone
and you´ll be judged to the bone
or welcome at home
where´s laughter or groan

2. Where Joy never ends
or where´s pain round the bend
no one will stand before
God´s glory and strength
When heaven and hell
and all the earth will bow down
before the Lamb – and the eldest
cast their golden crowns

CHORUS (E/A/Cism/H)

The gates of eternity
choose well my friend choose well
You´re either saved by grace alone
or you´ll be damned in deepst hell

The gates of eternity
don´t accpet your own good deeds
the blood of Jesus Christ
is really all you need

3. When all wisdom fo men
seems like castles of sand
and all riches and gold
cannot save one single man´s soul
Some will shiver and shake
some give praise to the king
billions thrown in the lake
from every nation tounges will sing

4. When every question is answered
and every hunger is stilled
when every tear is dried
and all justice´s fulifilled
When the children who starved
are not hungry anymore
and where the rich man is thirsty
and regrets forever more

5. When technology´s forgotten
and war is no more
when the saved receive mercy
and the damned are alone
Where darkness is eternal
and pain undescribed
and memories infernal
and the soul never dies

6. Where the Lamb is the light
unseen things are in sight
unheard melodies cling
and all the heavens sing
Where judgement is just
by a judge whom you can triust
when many´ll be surprised
about hippocrites ´n lies

7. The gates of eternity are
just a little step away
they can suddenly open
every night and every day
The gates of eternity
are big enough for all
like in a second through all centuries
you hear their warning call

8. The Gates of Eternity
are long waiting for you
don´t believe it all too late
soon you´ll see that it´s true
May your heart be pitch black
and your sins red as the blood
come to the cross and get redeemed
by Jesus Christ the Son of God

1. I rack my brain
instead of crying
no complain
no more lying
No other way
no way to go
no place to stay
and I sing so

Refrain
It´s morning again
another day
it´s morning again
I go your way
It´s morning again
I feel so free
It´s morning again

2. Out of Home
back to the world
not alone
free like a bird
upon your wings
I´ll fly up high
and my heart sings
loudly to the sky

Refrain

3. Raised out of death
back to life
take a deep breath
I will survive
to worship you
my Lord and Saviour
I´ll sing unto
in heaven I see you

Refrain 2
It´s morning again
you rose from the grave
It´s morning again
I´m no more slave
It´s morning again
I´m really free
I praise you Lord
for your victory

1. He had no titles
and He had no throne
they had no room for him
when he was born

He had no wife
no golden crown
the foxes have holes
but he had no place to lay his head down

He had no house
nor silver and gold
but for a little silver
he got sold

R: But he had words
nobody ever heard before
and everybody knew God´s realm
was knockin´at the door

He had love
so mighty and so pure
that the sinners and the sick
felt that he was their cure

He had mercy with the bound
and with the one´s in need
who could´t give nothin
and he set them free

2. He had no beauty
He had no pride
he had no servants
no horse to ride

He had no arms
no army to command
his weapons were truth and love
and a givin´ hand

He had no slaves
and He didn´t kill
he became a servant and
gave up his own will

R: He had truth so powerful
for the hippocrites and scribes
and some repented
and he changed their lifes

He had forgiveness for sinners
for everyone who saw his guilt
and he carried our sins
to the cross so still

He had hope for the hopeless
and light for the blind
and justice for the weak
eternal life who wants to find it

3. He had only one robe
and thorns were his crown
but fishermen followed him
turned the world upside down

He had words
they didn´t forget
so much greater than everything
that has been said

R. He had one life
and he gave it away
that many can be saved
on that very last day

He had one life to give
and he gave it away
that you and me can be saved
on that very last day

Oh Father, You look upon my life
You watch every step I take
Father, you look upon your child
with your father´s loving eyes

You´re wonderful,
such a wonderful God!
You´re leading me on the eternal path
All you want is, to have me at your side –
a hopless sinner from my birth!
No I can´t explain your mind!
No I can´t explain your grace!
No I can´t explain your love for me!
You´re such a wonderful God!
Such a mercyful God!

Oh Lord you look into my heart
The light of your presence sees it all
All my sins and thoughts are known to you
Oh Lord, have mercy upon me!

You´re wonderful
such a wonderful God!
You shed, the blood of your only son,
so I am clean from all my sins,
so I am free from all my chains!
That I can come before your face,
that can come before my father´s loving face!
You´re such a wonderful God!
Such a mercyful God!

Oh Father, You look upon my life
You watch every step I take
Father, you look upon your child
with your father´s loving eyes

You´re wonderful,
such a wonderful God!
You´re leading me on the eternal path.
All you want is to have me at your side –
a hopless sinner from my birth!
No I can´t explain your mind!
No I can´t explain your grace!
No I can´t explain your love for me!
You´re such a wonderful God!
Such a mercyful God!

R. If you´re down and forgotten by all
If you feel like the peole´s dirt
Then lift your eyes upon the man
who´s hated by the world

R. When all seems lost and nothings sure
when darkness seems to win
then lift your eyes upon the man
who carried all your sins

R. When wind as cold as ice
begins to blow into your face
then lift your eyes upon the man
who fighted all His days

1. If people hate you, curse on you
if they are telling lies
then lift you eyes upon the man
who will come back and rise

2. When the lights go out and the fear creeps in
when everybodys gone
then lift your eyes upon the man
who was dyin´ all alone

3. If You don´t know Your purpose
If You don´t know Your way
Come blind as You are
and walk with Jesus everyday

4. You don´t´ve to know all the secrets
neither small one´s nor the great
but Jesus knows all the tears You cried
and all the words You said

5. Just like the rivers rollin´
Your way is not to see
but Jesus leads You on and on
that´s good enough for You and me

6. When you feel loved and save in his arms
when you feel clean and free
then lift your eyes upon the man
who left heaven for you and me
