"Open Wide My Heart" lyrics - MATTHEW WEST

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 then?
Some days I wish I could make myself cry
And I wonder if maybe if this well has run dry
But just when I think my emotions succumbed unto fear

[Chorus:]
That's when You open wide my heart
I can see it, You open wide my heart
And I know just the touch of Your hand
Lets the healing begins
I see Your river of love rushing in
When You open wide my heart

You say I stand at the foot of this mountain
Pray for the courage to climb
When I am weary lead me to the fountain
That quenches my thirst everytime
Lord you are the water my reason to live
When I feel like I have nothing more left to give
Oh and just when I think I've fallen too far from your grace

[Chorus]

When I fall down, You lift me up again
Lose my ground, You bring me back again
Lost and found, I feel alive again

[Chorus]

Here I stand at the foot of this mountain
And pray for the courage to climb
