The World is Wide Open

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 through manipulation

The God of the Kingdoms and the God of Creation, God of the Nations

sent this revelation through the homeless, 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 praise when we've praised all our lives, men who build

kingdoms and men who build fame, but heave does not know their name?

And what are we going to fear, when all the remains is a God on the throne

with a child in his arms and love in His eyes?

And the sounds of His heart cries...

Take us way beyond religion

Way beyond the minds of man

Take us way beyond religion

Take us way beyond politics and the ways of this world

Deeper, We want to Go deeper

Teach us how to love

Teach me how to love

Teach us...

The World is Wide Open

the world is wide open

the world is wide open

Sons and daughters of the Living God

All of heaven is waiting

I hear all of creation crying, "We're waiting"

Show us how to love

Teach us how to love

"Stop telling us you are the chosen people, Start living like the chosen people"

I am calling your name, every son and daughter...
