I've been searching

wandering and hurting

ashamed of the shape I'm in

afraid you'll see who I really am

but, you invite me in

doesn't matter where I've been

your arms are open wide

there's nothing left to hide

how can this be?

a love so unfailing

reached down and lifed me

from ashes to beauty

and you invite me in

doesn't matter where I've been

your arms  are open wide

there's nothing left to hide

for you invite me in

doesn't matter who I've been

your arms are open wide

pulling me to your side

and now I'm walking away

from the life I once knew

and running into youe grace

that covers my shame

again and again , I find my life in you

you invite us in

doesn't matter where we've been

your  arms are open wide

there's nothing left to hide

you invite  us in

doesn't matter who we've been

your arms are open wide

pulling us to your side

your arms are open wide
