I died with
outstretched arms
Willing to suffer and die My love so strong My heart so willing My determination so great That I died with outstretched arms Nothing withheld Nothing folded up Nothing hidden A total and complete sacrifice A Lamb without spot or blemish Pouring out every drop of blood As an perfect offering For you And now I wait And now I pray And now I long With outstretched arms To hold you Close to my heart All who are weak and are heavily laden All who are tired and find life a burden Look to me Gaze on the one Whose arms are still outstretched Whose love is still as strong Whose hope is still as certain As when I died for you I long to embrace I long to hold I long to love And heal and forgive Believe in me Call out to me And I will shepherd you With outstretched arms And I will be your God And you will be my people Amen |
