D Bm G A 2x
[Verse 1]
G Bm
Heaven's gates were closed
G Bm
And there seemed to be no hope
For fallen man
D Bm
We were prisoners of our sin
A D
With no way to enter in
Bm
But God had a plan
D
The Father knew there had to be
A
A perfect sacrifice
G
So Jesus came, a cross was raised
Bm A
And when He laid down His life
[Chorus]
D Bm
Wide open, wide open
G A
They nailed His arms wide open
D Bm
After three days in a cold grave
G A
The power of sin was broken
Bm
Now with outstretched arms
A
He welcomes in
G D
Everyone who trusts in Him
Bm A D
His nail-scarred hands hold heaven's gates wide open
[Verse 2]
G Bm
For so long my eyes were closed
G Bm
I couldn't see a way of hope
For someone like me
D Bm
And in my despair I cried
A D
There's got to be more to this life
Bm
Lord help me please
D
And the Father said
A
There had to be a perfect sacrifice
G
That's why Jesus came, a cross was raised
Bm A
And He laid down His life
[Chorus]
D Bm
Wide open, wide open
G A
They nailed His arms wide open
D Bm
After three days in a cold grave
G A
The power of sin was broken
Bm
Now with outstretched arms
A
He welcomes in
G D
Everyone who trusts in Him
Bm A D
His nail-scarred hands hold heaven's gates wide open
[Bridge]
Em
For every weary heart that aches
Bm
For every dream this world will break
Em
There's a promise in its place
A
God has made a way
[Chorus]
D Bm
Wide open, wide open
G A
They nailed His arms wide open
D Bm
After three days in a cold grave
G A
The power of sin was broken
Bm
Now with outstretched arms
A
He welcomes in
G D
Everyone who trusts in Him
Bm A D
His nail-scarred hands hold heaven's gates wide open
