Lord, Are The Gates Still Open

Oh-oh, hm

Whoa-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I traded gold for shifting sand

I walked away from Father's land

The coat of colors now is torn

I curse the day that I was born

The world I chased has left me cold

A story bought, a spirit sold

I'm eating dust where shadows lie

Beneath this empty foreign sky

The hunger wakes me from my sleep

Is there a promise you still keep?

Are the gates still open for a heart so broken?

I am running home, no more to roam

I see Your arms stretched out to me

Across the calm and raging sea

If You can love a wretch like this

Then seal my pardon with a kiss, yeah

I thought I'd walk the path alone

And beg a servant's bread and stone

But You were watching from a hill

Your love was standing, waiting still

You didn't wait for me to speak

You saw the tears upon my cheek

You ran to meet me on the way

And turned my midnight into day

Are the gates still open for a heart so broken?

I am running home, no more to roam

I see Your arms stretched out to me

Across the calm and raging sea

If You can love a wretch like this

Then seal my pardon with a kiss

Put the ring upon my hand

Bring the robe and heal the land

I was dead, but now I breathe

Because of You, I believe

Are the gates still open for a heart so broken?

I am running home, I see Your arms stretched out to me

The road ends here

I am home, oh-oh, home, mm
