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.'" http://biblehub.com/nlt/luke/14.htm

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)
