Lyrics
Open Your Heart to the Lord
Words and Music by Mark E. Ellis
1. The day is gray and you wonder if you should even get out of bed.
You life?s been hard and there?s no doubt there are more bad days ahead.
But deep inside you?ve always felt that one day you would find
The way to peace and happiness and leave this life behind.
Ch. Open your heart to the Lord and ask Him to come in.
Let Him know that you love Him so and the healing will begin.
2. The sun is hot and you wipe your brow. Your work never seems to be done.
You think about the dreams you had for your future when you were young.
Now these dreams seem so far away but you still pray you will find.
The way to peace and happiness and leave this life behind.
Chorus
Br. Evening comes and you?re all alone again.
Day to day that sameness never ends.
3. The night is cold, you crawl into bed, pull the blanket up tight to your chin.
As you wait for sleep to come that familiar old sadness sets in.
You wonder why your life?s this way and you pray someday you?ll find
The way to peace and happiness and leave this life behind.
