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
