Wide Open

Lyrics

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, yeah 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 Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah 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 Wide open, wide open (Yeah, yeah, yeah) They nailed His arms wide open After three days in a cold grave (Yeah, yeah, yeah) 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 every weary heart that aches For every dream this world will break There's a promise in its place God has made a way, yeah Wide open Wide open, wide open Now with outstretched arms He welcomes in Everyone who trusts in Him His nail-scarred hands Hold heaven's gates wide open Wide open, wide open (Yeah, yeah, yeah) They nailed His arms wide open After three days in a cold grave (Yeah, yeah, yeah) 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 Wide open, wide open Nailed His arms wide open Open, yeah, oh... Yeah, yeah, yeah...
