Why wait till I'm at the gate

To fear the Lord because He's great

He's watching now no time to wait

Put me in my place and save me from my own disgrace



The world is big and I'm so small

The end can come in a moments call

Better watch my step so I don't fall

I could never show my face save me from my own disgrace



All the blood that's in my veins

All the air my lungs contain

My arms and legs my heart and brain

Please don't lay my soul to waste save me from my own disgrace



Why wait till I'm at the gate

To fear the Lord because He's great

He's watching now no time to wait

Put me in my place and save me from my own disgrace
