NewSong - Wide Open Lyrics
Heaven's gates were closedand there seemed to be no hopefor fallen manWe were prisoners of our sinWith no way to enter inbut God had a planThe Father knew there had to bea perfect sacrificeSo Jesus came, a cross was raisedand when He laid down His lifeWide open, wide openThey nailed His arms wide openAfter three days in a cold gravethe power of sin was brokenNow with outstretched armsHe welcomes inEveryone who trusts in HimHis nail-scarred hands hold heaven's gates wide openFor so long my eyes were closedI couldn't see a way of hopeFor someone like meAnd in my despair I criedThere's got to be more to this lifeLord help me pleaseAnd the Father saidThere had to be a perfect sacrificeThat's why Jesus came, a cross was raisedand He laid down His liferepeat chorusFor every weary heart that achesFor every dream this world will breakThere's a promise in its placeGod has made a wayrepeat chorus
