Lyrics

You think your heart is open,
As you go through the day,
But you feel such resistance,
When things don't go your way.
If you rely on your own strength,
It's a wall that just breaks down.
You need to open up inside,
And let Him bring you around.

'Cause if you have an open heart,
The change in you will start.
The love you need will hold you up,
And make you strong.
'Cause if you have an open heart,
You'll never fall apart,
'Cause Jesus will come into your heart,
And carry you along.
Carry you along.

So feel your new life dawning,
Let your fears go down with the sun.
You'll never be the same again,
From Him you'll never run.
You'll only run into His arms,
And feel His warm embrace.
And when you open up inside,
You'll know His saving grace.

'Cause if you have an open heart,
The change in you will start.
The love you need will hold you up,
And make you strong.
'Cause if you have an open heart,
You'll never fall apart,
'Cause Jesus will come into your heart,
And carry you along,
Carry you along.

Open heart...
Open heart...

Your eyes will open, too, (Open heart).
So much love will come to you.

If you have an open heart,
The change in you will start.
The love you need will hold you up,
And make you strong.
'Cause if you have an open heart,
You'll never fall apart,
'Cause Jesus will come into your heart,
And carry you along,
Carry you along.

Open heart...
Open heart...

If you have an open heart,
The change in you will start,
The love you need will hold you up,
And make you strong,
'Cause if you have an open heart,
You'll never fall apart,
'Cause Jesus will come into your heart,
And carry you along.
Carry you along.

Open heart...
Open heart...
