Story behind the song
Many of us wonder about death, yet for believers there is comfort, a knowing that the sting of death shall not harm..... Von and Jay Mallard wanted to share a dream. They penned this song from the viewpoint of the one that has died. This song is dedicated to Bill Edmonson. Bill, thank you for the beautiful friendship, that still lives in my heart.
Lyrics
Gates of Hell Lyrics: Yvonne Bach & Jay Mallard Music: Art n Von Produced and Arranged by: Art Elswick Verse One: My years of pain are finally over My body lies in quiet repose, My family grieves and seeks comfort From the Bible's righteous prose. I lived my life in faithful concert According to our Father's Plan I've waited so long for this journey Holding to God's unfailing Hand CHORUS: As my spirit breaks ties that bind it To my broken earthly shell God's love and endless mercy Keeps me far from the gates of hell Keeps me far from the gates of hell Keeps me far from the gates of hell. lead break (Art Elswick's fine guitar work) Verse Two: My family cries in the graveyard I see their tears, but hear no sound All I can do is feel so humbled Not even death could hold me down Angels welcome me with singing Nothing has ever felt so right Sweetly I'm touched by His beauty As I behold the Son Of Light Now my spirit breaks ties that bind it To my broken earthly shell God's love and endless mercy Keeps me far from the gates of hell Keeps me far from the gates of hell Keeps me far from the gates of hell.
