Standing in the gate
For my family
Standing in the gate
For salvation
Standing in the gate
For my long lost friends
Standing in the gate
For the love of Christ
Standing in the gate
Standing in the gate

We must build a wall
Build a wall
Through prayer and supplication
Prayer and supplication
You must read a word
Read a word
To build up that wall
Build up that wall

Standing in the gate

We must keep the hedge
Keep the hedge
Of protection all around
All around
Nothing can break through
Break through
The power of the blood
Power of the blood

Standing in the gate
For my family
Standing in the gate

Bridge:
Standing in the gate
Standing in the gate
Bishops, preachers, ancestors, prayer warriors
Standing in the gate
Mothers, Fathers, Uncles, Aunts
Standing in the gate
Through power of blood

Verse 3:
If I don't hold my ground
The devil can be found
Living inside my home
Taking over my throne
With Jesus I'll make my stand
Holding ON to his unchanging hand
With him I'll make my stand
Make my stand
Make my stand

Chorus:
Standing in the gate
For my family
Standing in the gate
For salvation
Standing in the gate
For my long lost friends
Standing in the gate
