Wide Open

(álbum: Faithful (Live Worship) - 2015)

Heaven's gates were closed
and there seemed to be no hope
for fallen man
We were prisoners of our sin
With no way to enter in
but God had a plan
The Father knew there had to be
a perfect sacrifice
So Jesus came, a cross was raised
and when He laid down His life

[Chorus:]
Wide open, wide open
They nailed His arms wide open
After three days in a cold grave
the power of sin was broken
Now with outstretched arms
He welcomes in
Everyone who trusts in Him
His nail-scarred hands hold heaven's gates wide open

For so long my eyes were closed
I couldn't see a way of hope
For someone like me
And in my despair I cried
There's got to be more to this life
Lord help me please
And the Father said
There had to be a perfect sacrifice
That's why Jesus came, a cross was raised
and He laid down His life

[repeat chorus]

For every weary heart that aches
For every dream this world will break
There's a promise in its place
God has made a way

[repeat chorus]
