Matthew West - Open Wide My Heart lyrics

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 [CHORUS] 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 [Repeat Chorus] When I fall down, You lift me up again Lose my ground, You bring me back again Lost and found, I feel alive again [Repeat Chorus] Here I stand at the foot of this mountain and pray for the courage to climb
