When The Gates Swing Wide by The C. A. Tindley Bible Class Gospel Singers Lyrics
[Chorus]
When the gates swing wide on the other side
Just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare as we enter there
Room for you and room for me
When the gates swing wide on the other side
Where the flowers ever bloom
On the right hand, on the left hand
Plenty room for you and me
[Verse]
Twelve hundred miles its length and breadth
The four square city stands
Its gem set walls of jasper shine
Not made with human hands
One hundred miles its gates are wide
Abundance entrance there
With fifty miles of elbow room
On either side to spare
[Chorus]
When the gates swing wide on the other side
Just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare as we enter there
Room for you and room for me
When the gates swing wide on the other side
Where the flowers ever bloom
On the right hand, on the left hand
Plenty room for you and me
When the gates swing wide on the other side
Just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare as we enter there
Room for you and room for me
When the gates swing wide on the other side
Where the flowers ever bloom
On the right hand, on the left hand
Plenty room for you and me
[Verse]
Twelve hundred miles its length and breadth
The four square city stands
Its gem set walls of jasper shine
Not made with human hands
One hundred miles its gates are wide
Abundance entrance there
With fifty miles of elbow room
On either side to spare
[Chorus]
When the gates swing wide on the other side
Just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare as we enter there
Room for you and room for me
When the gates swing wide on the other side
Where the flowers ever bloom
On the right hand, on the left hand
Plenty room for you and me
