Lyrics

HEART WIDE OPEN

Do You recognize me?
I know it?s been a while
And it hasn?t been the same since I left
I have walked my willful way, all for freedom?s sake
And it?s only left me with a heartful of regret

But Your quiet pleadings whisper to my soul
And for the first time I?m starting to let go
I?ve come to learn it?s not in my control
So I put my trust in You

HERE I AM
WITH MY HEART WIDE OPEN
I?M READY TO RECEIVE
ALL THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR ME
AND HERE I STAND
I DON?T HAVE TO WALK ALONE
YOUR DAUGHTERS COME HOME
WITH A HEART WIDE OPEN

Fill me with the light that ? I?ve needed for so long
Let me feel the strength of Your saving grace
How I want to know Your will ? Your plan for me revealed
So that someday I might see You face to face

(So much time lost wondering what life?s for)
But now I see it clearer than before
(I come to You) and open up the door
As I put my faith in You

CHO

?WITH A HEART WIDE OPEN ? For change
(For all that I?ve been missing in my life ? without You)
It?s taken me this long to realize You were here
Waiting for me all this time
