I was sitting just inside the gates of heaven
 I arrived just yesterday and saw His face
 My Savior stood before me in His glory
 I bowed down to the ground and then I said
  
 You alone deserve my praise, Oh Lord
 You alone will I honor and adore
 I lift my voice to you
 It is all that I can do
 As I humbly bow before your throne
  
 He lifted up my head and led me onward
 I saw all the saints of old up ahead
 It was strange how I knew them in an instant
 As I walked along this is what they said
  
 You alone deserve my praise, Oh Lord
 You alone will I honor and adore
 I lift my voice to you
 It is all that I can do
 As I humbly bow before your throne
  
 He led me to a table spread before us
 The marriage feast the Lamb had made for me
 I sat down at the table with the others
 Then these words we all began to speak
  
 You alone deserve my praise, Oh Lord
 You alone will I honor and adore
 I lift my voice to you
 It is all that I can do
 As I humbly bow before your throne
  
 Then the Lamb entered the room in royal splendor
 He sat down and said let the feast begin
 I stood up to my feet and started singing
 To the Lamb who gave me life again
  
 You alone deserve my praise, Oh Lord
 You alone will I honor and adore
 I lift my voice to you
 It is all that I can do
 As I humbly bow before your throne
