Open Wide My Heart Lyrics


How many times can a heart be defeated
Before it decides to give in
How many times can a soul be mistreated
Before being locked up withinSome days I wish I could make myself cry
And I wonder if maybe this well has run dry
But just when I think my emotions are too numb to feelThat's when You open wide my heart
I can feel You open wide my heart
And I know just the touch of Your hands lets the healing begin
I feel Your river of love rushing in
When You open wide my heartEach day I stand at the foot of this mountain
And pray for the courage to climb
When I am weary lead me to the fountain
That quenches my thirst every timeLord, You are the water, my reason to live
When I feel like I have nothing more left to give
Oh, and just when I think I have fallen too far from Your graceThat's when You open wide my heart
I can feel You open wide my heart
And I know just the touch of Your hands lets the healing begin
And I feel Your river of love rushing in

When You open wide my heart, yeah, yeah, yeahWhen I fall down
And You lift me up again
Lose my ground
And You bring me back again
Lost and found
I feel alive againYou open wide my heart
I can feel You open wide my heart
And I know just the touch of Your hands lets the healing begin
And I feel Your river of love rushing in
When You open wideI feel You
Open wide my heart
Yeah, yeahEach day I stand at the foot of this mountain
And pray for the courage to climb
