THE GATES ARE OPEN

                                                    THE GATES ARE OPEN

                                                     Wrote Charles Sorley...

                                               "The gates are open on the road
                                                that leads to beauty and to God."

                                                No walls, no matter how thick
                                                No fences, no matter how high
                                                No guards, no matter how many
                                                Can keep us encumbered or bound
                                                If our hearts are right with God.

                                                If our hearts are right with God
                                                Those walls become windows
                                                Those fences become rose trellises
                                                Those guards become our friends
                                                For no chains may fetter
                                                The upward bound soul
                                                God's gates are always open
                                                To all those who would enter in
