(The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Ps 87:2)
Nehemiah’s gates were well laid on a foundation of rock
The Lord recalls His house
We go from private to public entering these gates
The Lord calls us to public worship in His house
Many ridicule the Church of Christ
Changing names to hide the place
Failing to see the simple truth
The Lord ordained His public rule
Private, private so many shout
I do just fine alone with God
Yes that is true, in Christ we do
The Lord ordained His public rule
The Gospel Church is the Father’s school
Jesus gave us HIS Church
The gates of hell will not prevail
The Lord ordained His public rule
