I was staring at the ceiling Thinking You were far away Measuring my faults and failures Counting every wasted day Then Your whisper cut the silence Like a sunrise through the rain “You were never out of mercy You were only lost in shame” Open arms Open heaven You have called my heart Your home By Your grace I am welcome I will never walk alone You tore the veil Now I can see My hope is that You’re close to me Open arms Open heaven You have given my hope All the ladders I kept building Trying hard to climb to You Fell to pieces at the footstep Where Your cross already stood You were watching while I wandered You're arms were open while I hid Every distance I imagined You erased it when You said Open arms Open heaven You have called my heart Your home By Your grace I am welcome I will never walk alone You tore the veil Now I can see My hope is that You’re close to me Open arms Open heaven You have given my hope Dear God I’m done with hiding (oh) Dear God I’m coming near You’ve written love across my story You’ve answered every fear Dear God My soul is singing Dear God My hands are raised My hope is seeing my Savior’s face Open arms Open heaven You have called my heart Your home By Your grace I am welcome I will never walk alone You tore the veil Now I can see My hope is that You’re close to me Open arms Open heaven You have given my hope
