All of us  sinners We look to the Lord, the Lord our strength Our help and our deliverer   The path grows dangerous We stumble on the rocks upon the trail  But Jesus holds us steady  And by His grace we will prevail    Shalom, shalom  Within the gates of Zion Our God is before us Behind us and beside us  Shalom, shalom awaits us  Within the gates of Zion Today we walk, the well worn path On our journey up to Zion   Our shelter from the withering heat On the way up to Zion Covered under, Your mantle of grace  On the way up to Zion Even now you extend Your arms To all of us  sinners Reconciling armies of hate With Your deliverance   Shalom, shalom  Within the gates of Zion Our God is before us Behind us and beside us  Shalom, shalom awaits us  Within the gates of Zion Today we walk, the well worn path On our journey up to Zion
