Story Behind The Song
"The servant returned and told his master what they had said. His master was furious and said, 'Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and invite the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.' After the servant had done this, he reported, 'There is still room for more.' So his master said, 'Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full.'"

Lyrics
Hearts wide open
(C) 2016 Michael R. J. Roth
From the call of the siren
That crawls into bed
And wakes us at midnight
To pray for the dead
And the cry of the newborn
Who needs to be fed
We have come to you.
From shipwrecks of refugees
Beached on the shore,
The petals of blood
On the dancehalls of war,
The sin that we love
And the love we ignore,
We have come to you,
Yes we come.
Chorus:
And we come
With hearts wide open,
And we come
Laying our pride
At the foot of the cross
And we come
With hearts wide open,
Hearts wide open
To you
Beneath wonders from heaven
That fall from the skies
Our satellite calls
and their urgent replies
And innocence lost
In the wink of an eye
We have come to you
From the dogs of addiction
That tug at our sleeve
And gnaw at the dreams
That we used to believe
From the scenes that we fled
Where the victim still bleeds
We have come to you.
Yes we come.
(Chorus)
You answered our cry
In the midst of our dread
And promised your children
Will rise from the dead.
We give thanks to our Savior
Who died in our stead
As we come to you.
Yes we come.
(Chorus)
