Lift Up Your Heads, You Mighty Gates
Words: George Weissel, Music/arrangement: Mike Crawford
Fling wide the portals of your heart
Make it a temple, set apart
From earthly use for heaven’s employ
Adorned with prayer and love and joy
Unbar the gate, fling wide the door,
Your heart to God's design restore.
Adorn its walls with all things right, With peace and love and joy and light.
Lift up your heads, you mighty gates
Behold, the King of glory waits
The King of kings is drawing near
The Saviour of the world is here!
Redeemer come, with us abide
Our hearts to You we open wide
Let us your inner presence feel
Your grace and love in us reveal
Your Holy Spirit lead us on
Until our glorious goal is won
Eternal praise, eternal fame
Be offered, Jesus, to Your name

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
