THIS SONG WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE, SERIOUSLY, WATCH IT.

Misty Edwards - Arms Wide Open

What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like? 
What does love look like? is the question Ive been asking of You 
Once believed that love was romance, just a chance 
I even thought that love was for the lucky and the beautiful 
I once believed that love was a momentary bliss, but love is more than this 
All You ever wanted was my attention 
All You ever wanted was love from me
All You ever wanted was my affections to sit here at Your feet and tell me 
What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like? If all of life comes down to love then tell me 
What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like?

Then I sat down a little frustrated and confused 
Your fire of life comes down to love. And love has to be more than sentiment,
More than selfishness and selfish gain 

Then I saw Him there
Hanging on a tree, looking at me 
I saw Him there
Hanging on a tree, looking at me
He was looking at me looking at Him, staring through me
I could not escape those beautiful eyes 
And I began to weep and weep 

He had arms wide open, heart exposed
Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding. 
Arms wide open, heart exposed
Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding
Loves definition 
Loves definition, was looking at me 
Looking at Him. Hanging on a tree
I began to weep and weep and weep and weep
This is how I know what love is.

And as I sat there, weeping, crying, those beautiful eyes 
Full of desire and love. And He said to me
You shall love Me..You shall love Me.
With arms wide open, heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
You shall love Me.. You shall love Me..


If anybodys looking for love in all the wrong places 
If youve been searching for love, come to Me. Come to me. 
Take up your cross. Deny yourself. 
Forget your fathers house and run. Run with Me. 
Cause you were made for abandon your heart and listen
Cause you were made for Someone greater, Someone bigger, so follow Me. 
And youll come alive when you learn to die.
And He said to me

You shall love Me. You shall love Me

With arms wide open, heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding

John 3:16 comes to mind.

8 notes read this. The Cross The gap is massive, the fall horrendous. We stand here, He stands there. We need to cross. We stand alone, about to fall. He stands there, tall and sure on the mountain. We need to cross. We are rooted, drinking up a dying stream. He needs no sustenance for He Himself is Life. We need to cross. How shall we cross, and where is the bridge for such a chasm? We cannot jump for we would fall. we cannot swim for we would drown. We cannot fly for we have no wings. We need to cross but we are rooted, dead and dying with no hope inside and no hope around. We need to cross but we are darkness and He is light so how could we cross? He must come and take us there, yet He must take us on a cross, He must pay the price for such a thing. He must take our shadow and give us light. Would He do it, could He care, might He? Yes! Though we were loving darkness and sipping sin, He broke through the darkness and spilt the shadows with a light, a cross. He exchanged all of our sin and darkness for His light. He made a way, he made a bridge, though we must walk upon Him and lay all our sin upon His back we can turn and ascend to Him, out of our darkness to receive His light. The shadow of the cross has fallen and it is Light!

The Cross

The gap is massive, the fall horrendous. We stand here, He stands there. We need to cross.

We stand alone, about to fall. He stands there, tall and sure on the mountain. We need to cross.

We are rooted, drinking up a dying stream. He needs no sustenance for He Himself is Life. We need to cross.

How shall we cross, and where is the bridge for such a chasm?

We cannot jump for we would fall. we cannot swim for we would drown. We cannot fly for we have no wings. We need to cross but we are rooted, dead and dying with no hope inside and no hope around. 
We need to cross but we are darkness and He is light so how could we cross? He must come and take us there, yet He must take us on a cross, He must pay the price for such a thing. 
He must take our shadow and give us light. Would He do it, could He care, might He? Yes! 
Though we were loving darkness and sipping sin, He broke through the darkness and spilt the shadows with a light, a cross. He exchanged all of our sin and darkness for His light. He made a way, he made a bridge, though we must walk upon Him and lay all our sin upon His back we can turn and ascend to Him, out of our darkness to receive His light. The shadow of the cross has fallen and it is Light!

We need to redefine God’s place in our lives…

God is not like our parents. He will never let us down, He will never misguide us, He will never hurt us out of ignorance. 

God is not like our boyfriends. He will never make promises He cannot keep. He will never betray our trust. He will never make us feel like anything less than beautiful.

God is not like our friends. He will never misunderstand us. He will never wake up one morning and decide that He doesn’t want to be in our lives anymore.

Open your heart up to Papa-God, He is gentle. He is good, thoroughly good. He wants the best for you. This is why He wants to be the One to save you. He knew that no one else could save you and love you the way He can, this is why He came to earth and died for you. He knows your thoughts, He knows your heart, and He wants to hold you and love you, and give you the life He created you to have.

When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn’t move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
