With His Arms Wide Open

There came a kind and gentle man from a town called Galilee
Spent his whole life reachin out to folks like you and me
He said His Father sent Him bearing gifts from up above
To those believing in Him
He offered faith, hope and love

With His arms wide open
He walked from town to town
With His arms wide open
That each lost sheep might be found
From the youngest to the old
To the weak and wayward souls
With His arms wide open
He came gathering His fold

Now when he talked about His kingdom, well he threw the kings a curve
Cause with all His Fathers power He said He came to serve
The weary and the destitute were the ones that He called friends
No wonder, he had prostitutes and even lepers follow Him

With His arms wide open
He welcomed one and all
With His arms wide open
He tore down all those walls
From sinners filled with shame
To the blind and the lame
With His arms wide open
He loved em all the same

When His days on earth were through
He'd given all that He could give
So it's no surprise that He died the same way that He lived

With his arms wide open
He hung there from a cross
With His arms wide open
That not one soul would be lost
He turned the other cheek when they nailed him to a tree
With His arms wide open
He rescued you and me
With His arms wide open
He set this whole world free
With His arms wide open
He bought our eternity
