Arms Wide Open (Live) Lyrics by Misty Edwards

Fling Wide (Live)

2009

[Refrain]
"What does love look like?" is the question I've been pondering
"What does love look like?"
"What does love look like?" is the question I've been asking of You
[Verse]
I 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
[Refrain]
Then tell me
"What does love look like?" is the question I've 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 I've been pondering
"What does love look like?"
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I sat down, a little frustrated and confused
If all of life comes down to love then love has to be more than sentiment
More than selfishness and selfish gain
[Pre-Chorus]
And 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
[Chorus]
He had arms wide open, a heart exposed
Arms wide open; He was bleeding, bleeding
Arms wide open, a heart exposed
Arms wide open; He was bleeding, bleeding
[Post-Chorus]
Love's definition, love's definition was looking at me
[Pre-Chorus]
Looking at Him, hanging on a tree
I began to weep and weep and weep and weep
[Bridge 1]
This is how I know what love is
This is how I know what love is
This is how I know what love is
This is how I know what love is
This is how I know what love is
This is how I know what love is
This is how I know what love is
This is how I know what love is
[Chorus]
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
You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love Me"
With arms wide open, a heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
With arms wide open, a heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
He said to me: "You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love"
[Spontaneous]
If anybody's looking for love in all the wrong places
If you've been searching for love, come to Me, come to Me
Take up your cross, deny yourself
Forget your father's house and run, run with Me
'Cause You were made for abandonment, wholeheartedness
And You were made for someone greater
Someone bigger, so follow Me
And you'll come alive when you learn to die
[Chorus]
He said to me: "You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love"
With arms wide open, a heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
With arms wide open, a heart exposed
Arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
[Outro: Spoken]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm saying yes to You
I'm saying yes
All across the room, we say, "Yes
Yes, show us the way of love
Teach us the way of love
We will go anywhere
We will do anything"
I will give everything
For the sake of love
I was made for love
I was made, I'm in it for love...
