Chords for This Is The Gate | Live | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Worship

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
When Jacob awoke, he thought to himself, surely the Lord is in this place, and I [D] was not aware.
_ _ [G] _
God's presence only awaits your _ awareness. _
_ _ [Em] _ _ When he [F#m] awoke, he took a stone, _ _ and he poured oil on it, and he declared, This is the house of [G] God.
This is the gate of heaven.
_ _ Somebody say, This is the gate.
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] The pain I'm going through right now is the gateway to greater purpose.
Somebody say, This is the gate.
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
The sufferings of this [D] present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that
will be revealed.
This is [Bm] the gate. _
_ _ They that wait upon the Lord will [D] renew their strength.
[F#m] Waiting is the gateway to strength.
This is the gate.
[G] _ _
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise.
This is the gate. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Upon this rock, I will build my church, and the [Bm] gates of hell will [G] not prevail. _ _
We are the gates of heaven.
We are the people of God.
[A] We are the children of [Bm] promise.
We are the people of God.
[D] This is the gate of heaven.
[G] We are the people of God.
This is the gate of heaven, and we are the people of God.
[A] Isn't that right?
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ Jacob, taking a stone, _ [D] commemorated his encounter [G] with God.
He commemorated that place where God appeared to him in his wandering [D] and in his weakness. _ _ _
_ I remember when I [A] first read about the command that God gave through Moses to the Israelites,
the people of [Em] God, _ made up of 12 tribes.
We've heard about the 12 [G] stones that they _ _ took out of the Jordan when they crossed over
under Joshua's leadership [D] _ _ to _ memorialize the miracle.
It is good [A] to remember those things that God has brought you through that only he could
bring you through. _
_ To [G] declare, surely [D] the presence of the Lord is in this place.
He was in my [G] darkest valley.
_ He was in [A] my weakest moment. _
_ [G] Even when I was at my most [D] sinful, God [A] was at his most merciful.
[D] _ _ [G] _ _
We [Bm] remember his [A] presence with us _ _ in [G] the transitions of our lives. _ _
_ Something that is very interesting is what God said to Moses when he [D] instructed _ that
an altar be built.
[G] He said, If you build an altar for me, _ I don't want you to build it with stones that you have cut.
_ The [D] Bible says that this altar was to be built [G] of unhewn stones _ that were not carved with human hands. _
_ These stones would [D] be imperfect stones.
When you build an altar to [G] me, God says, I don't want something that you manufacture.
_ _ I don't want something that you [Em] design.
_ I want something with [D] rough edges and broken [G] places. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ Peter had a revelation in the New Testament.
He said that we are living stones.
[A] You and I, the church [G] of Jesus Christ, we are being built together as a spiritual house,
[D] _
and we fit together just right.
The thing about broken stones is if you're going to build an [A] altar out of broken stones,
[G]
you take one stone that is [Em] broken and [G] another stone that is broken, [D] but they are broken
in such [A] a beautiful way that they fit together just right. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] That's what church is, [G] you know. _
It's a bunch of broken stones _ coming together [Dm] _ in the name of Jesus to declare the [A] praises
_ of him who called us out of darkness [D] _ and [G] into his wonderful light.
We are an altar _ of broken stones.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ We're not perfect, but our offering is, because his name is Jesus.
He is a lamb without blemish, slain from the [G] foundation of the world.
I want you to know today, wherever you are and whatever you're going through, _ [Bm] there's
a place for you in the [A] family of [D] God.
_ _ [G] _ He is pleased with the offering.
_ [Bm] What can we offer the King of all?
[G] What would he want with these broken stones, _ these [Bm] dysfunctional people?
_ _ [D] What would he want with [G] _ humanity? _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [D] But our [G] _
hallelujah _ [D] here below _ _ is a sound [G] that the angels can't make because [Bm] _
[A] they've never
been redeemed like we've been redeemed. _
There is a praise that can only [G] come from broken people who know that if it had not
[Bm] been for the mercy of God, I [A] wonder, are there any living stones?
_ _ With a full broken hallelujah, [D] would you just [G] lift your voice right now?
He wants to hear your hallelujah.
[D] _
Not a performance and [A] not our perfection, _ _ but let's take 18 seconds [B] and give our [D] God
_ our [G] very best praise.
_ _ _ Hallelujah.
[D] _ _
Thank you Jesus.
Come on [A] glorify him in this place. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
