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 within

Some 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 feel

That'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 heart

Each 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 time

Lord, 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 grace

That'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, yeah

When I fall down
And You lift me up again
Lose my ground
And You bring me back again
Lost and found
I feel alive again

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

I feel You
Open wide my heart
Yeah, yeah

Each day I stand at the foot of this mountain
And pray for the courage to climb
