Jason Upton - The World Is Wide Open lyrics
Your rating:
There is a power in poverty that breaks principalities It brings the authorities down to their knees There is a brewing frustration and an ageless temptation To fight for control by manipulation The God of the Kingdoms and God of Creation, God of the Nations Sent this revelation through the homeless and penniless Jesus the Son "The poor will inherit the Kingdom to come" Where will we turn when our world falls apart And all of the treasures we stored in our barns, Can't buy the Kingdom of God? And who will we praise when we've praised all our lives, Men who build kingdoms and men who build fame, but Heaven does not know their names? And what are we gonna fear, When all that remains is a God on the throne with a child in his arms And love in His eyes? And the sound of His heart crying... Take us way beyond religion Way beyond the minds of man Take us way beyond religion Way beyond the minds of man Take us way beyond politics and the ways of the world Oh deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, We want to go deeper Deeper into the ways of you Jesus Teach us how to love, teach us how to love, teach us how to love, Teach me, teach me how to love, teach me how to love Teach us... teach us how to love The world is wide open The world is wide open The world is wide open It's wide open It's wide open It's wide open It's wide open Teach us how to love Teach us how to love Teach us your ways Jesus We want to walk in your truth Sons and daughters of the living God Sons and daughters of the living God Sons and daughters of the living God All of heaven is waiting on us It's waiting It's waiting It's waiting It's waiting Were waiting I hear all of creation crying, "We're waiting" "We're waiting" "We're waiting" "We're waiting" "We're waiting" Show us how to love Stop Telling Us... That You're The Chosen People, Start Living Like A Chosen People Jason, I'm calling your name Bryan, I'm calling your name I'm calling your name I'm calling your name I'm Calling your name Every son and daughter in the Church today... I'm calling your name Teach them Teach them That my ways are far beyond the ways of man My ways are far beyond religion My ways, my ways, are far beyond one people My ways, my ways, are higher than your ways There higher than your ways, higher than your ways There higher than your ways Teach them how to love The world is wide open Teach us how to love Calling on you... Waiting on you Sons and daughters, sons and daughters, sons and daughters Of the living god It's time, it's time We are, Sons and daughters of the living God Sons and daughters of the living God
