Lyrics Matthew West

Matthew West

Open Wide My Heart

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

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

When I fall down, You lift me up again

Lose my ground, You bring me back again

Lost and found, I feel alive again

Here I stand at the foot of this mountain

and pray for the courage to climb
