About

I've been involved in music in some form all my life. Toured with bands, written, recorded and done live solo performances which is what I'm getting back into now. My profession is retail store designer, but my passion is the music and the message.

Closer to the Gates

                                                                                              Words & Music: E. Pettersen

I used to think that I was somethin’

Till life put me in my place

But now I realize my future would mean nothing

If not for God’s amazing grace

CHORUS:

I’m getting closer to the gates

With every step I take I can hardly wait

To see His face, in that place

Full of mercy, peace and grace

Oh, I can’t wait…. Till I get to the gates

Till I get to the gates…

 

It’s been a rocky path I’m walkin’

Through this broken world of sin

But my eyes are focused straight ahead to where I’m goin’

I never turn around to look at where I’ve been…

CHORUS:

I’m getting closer to the gates

With every step I take I can hardly wait

To see His face, in that place

Full of mercy, peace and grace

Oh, I can’t wait…. Till I get to the gates

Till I get to the gates…

BRIDGE:

I know that Heaven’s out there waiting

For the Bible tells me so…

And I spend my days anticipating

The hour when I will finally go!

CHORUS:

I’m getting closer to the gates

With every step I take I can hardly wait

To see His face, in that place

Full of mercy, peace and grace

Oh, I can’t wait…. Till I get to the gates

Till I get to the gates…

Till I get to the gates…
