Echoes of the Open Arms

Lyrics

Before the mountains kissed the sky, Your love was reaching out. You knew my name, You knew my pain, Yet never cast me out. You gave me freedom, gave me choice, A heart to seek Your face. Though I wandered far away, You never left my place. Every road I chose alone, Still Your mercy called me home. With open arms, You're calling me, Love stretched wide on Calvary. Every nail, every scar, Shows how deep Your mercies are. You took the cross, You paid my debt, A love this world will not forget. Here I stand, forever Yours, Running into open arms. The darkest hour, the broken sky, The Savior lifted high. He bore the weight of every sin, So I could truly live. The stone was rolled, the grave gave way, Hope rose with morning's light. Now every soul that calls His name Can walk from death to life. No chain is stronger than Your grace. No heart is lost beyond embrace. No night so dark Your light can't shine. No soul too far to make it mine. Your mercy speaks, Your mercy saves. Your love has conquered every grave. King of kings, forever reign, Jesus Christ, Your holy Name! With open arms, You're calling still, To every heart, to every will. Grace is free, the price was paid, Death was crushed, the stone was rolled away. I'll lift my voice across the earth, Proclaim the Savior and His worth. Until the whole wide world adores The King with everlasting open arms. Come home... His mercy waits. Come home... His love remains. Jesus is calling... His arms are open wide.
