I Will Enter His Gates

"I Will Enter His Gates" is a joyful and universally known praise song, drawing its text directly from Psalm 100 and Psalm 118. In Nigerian parishes, it is a staple for the Entrance procession, instantly lifting the spirit of the congregation and setting a tone of profound thanksgiving for the Mass. The familiar melody invites everyone to join in the celebration from the very first beat.

This vibrant choral arrangement by Zitu Benafa captures the energetic, marching tempo that choirs love to bring to this piece. While the verses begin with a personal declaration of praise, the refrain expands into a shared communal joy, declaring, "We rejoice for he has made us glad." It is an ideal choice for festive Sundays, harvest thanksgivings, and any celebration where the choir wants to lead the people into worship with genuine gladness.
