Open Wide My Heart

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 ould make myself cry
and wonder if maybe my well has run dry
Just when I think my emotions are too numb to feel
Chorus:
That's when you open wide my heart
Just the touch of your hand
Let's 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 the mountain
And pray for the courage to climb
When I am weary lead my to the fountain
That quenches my thirst every time
You are the water, my reason to live
When I feel like I have nothing more left to give
Just wehn I think I have fallen too far from Your grace
Repeat Chorus:
That's when you open wide my heart
Just the touch of your hand
Let's the healing begin
I feel your river of love rushing in
When you open wide my heart
Bridge:
I fall down
You lift me up again
Lose my ground
You bring me back again
Lost and found
I feel alive again
CHORUS
