Heaven's gates were closed
And there seemed to be no hope
For fallen man
We were prisoners of our sin
With no way to enter in
But God had a plan
The Father knew there had to be
A perfect sacrifice
So Jesus came, a cross was raised
And when He laid down His life
Wide open, wide open
They nailed His arms wide open
After three days in a cold grave
The power of sin was [Am7]broken
Now with outstɾetched arms
He welcomes in
Everyone who tɾusts in Him
His nail-scarred hands hold heaven's gates wide open
For so long [Am]my [A]eyes were closed
I couldn't see a way of hope
For someone like [F]me
And in my [A]despair I cried
There's got [Fm7]to [C7]be [Am]more to [C7]this life
Lord help me please
And the Father said
There had to [C7]be [Am]a perfect sacrifice
That's why Jesus came, a cross was [Am7]ɾaised
And He laid down His life
[Chorus]
For every weary heart that aches
For every dream this world will break
There's a promise in its place
God has made a way
[Chorus]
