Shane & Shane's 'Ancient Gates (feat. Jess Ray)' is a worship song that paints a vivid picture of heavenly praise. The lyrics describe singing at the ancient gates of Heaven, where ceaseless praise grows stronger through the ages. It emphasizes God's eternal reign, His holiness, and the hope of a future without sorrow or night. The song encourages believers to praise God now as if they were already in glory, bringing their songs and prayers to Jesus, who is worthy of all worship.

There is singing at the ancient gates
There's a melody of ceaseless praise
Age to age the sound is only growing stronger
There's a throne beneath the Name of names
There is seated on it One who reigns
And His Kingdom now is here and getting closer
So praise Him like we're there in glory
Here and now He's just as holy
Jesus He's so worthy of it all
He exists in everlasting light
So on Heaven's streets there is no night
Every tear is wiped away we'll know no sorrow
Worship Him with joyful sound
Sing until your voice gives out
No matter where or who's around
Release your worship
Praise Him like we're there in glory
Here and now He's just as holy
Jesus He's so worthy of it all
Bring your song He loves to hear it
Bring Him every prayer-soaked lyric
Jesus He's so worthy of it all
The One who was the One who is
The One who is to come
The One who was the One who is
The One who is to come
The One who was the One who is
The One who is to come
The One who was the One who is
The One who is to come
Praise Him like we're there in glory
Here and now He's just as holy
Jesus He's so worthy of it all
Bring your song He loves to hear it
Bring Him every prayer-soaked lyric
Jesus He's so worthy of it all
The One who was the One who is
The One who is to come
The One who was the One who is
The One who is to come
The One who was the One who is
The One who is to come
The One who was the One who is
The One who is to come
