Enter Through the Gates –

The desire of a sinner is to enter through the gates of righteousness into the very presence of God. This, the gate of righteousness, is the gate of the LORD. And the righteous enter through them.

May the LORD draw me close to Him – that I may offer Him praise.

The desire of a sinner is to enter through the gates of this Lent season into a time of rest and waiting upon God. This, the time of Lent, is the season of communion with the LORD. And the righteous pass through.

As the LORD draws me close to Him – I will offer Him praise.
