heaven's gate 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
chorus
bridge:
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
chorus
