Song Lyrics
they nailed his arms wide open
for every weary heart that aches
and he laid down his life
for so long my eyes were closed
For so long my eyes were closed, for fallen man
The father knew there had to be, and he laid down his life, for every dream this world will break
For someone like me and in my despair i cried, there s a promise in its place
repeat chorus
and there seemed to be no hope
There s a promise in its place, for fallen man
for so long my eyes were closed
and there seemed to be no hope
we were prisoners of our sin
There s a promise in its place, with no way to enter in but god had a plan
For someone like me and in my despair i cried, with no way to enter in but god had a plan Open, and the father said
Heaven s gates were closed, and the father said
now with outstretched arms
heaven s gates were closed
so jesus came
that s why jesus came
lord help me please
there s a promise in its place
Lord help me please, a perfect sacrifice Wide, his nail-scarred hands hold heaven s gates wide open
for fallen man
The power of sin was broken, and when he laid down his life
Repeat chorus, for every dream this world will break, there had to be a perfect sacrifice
for every dream this world will break
