There came a kind and gentle man
From a town called Galilee
He spent his whole life preaching out
To folks like you and me.
He said his father sent him
Bearing gifts from up above
To those believing in him
He offered faith, hope, and love...
With his arms wide open
He walked from town to town
With his arms wide open
That each lost sheep might be found.
From the youngest to the old
To the weak and wayward souls
With his arms wide open
He came gathering his fold...
And when he talked about his kingdom
Well it through the kings a curve
Cause with all his fathers power
He said he came to serve.
The weary and the destitute
Were the ones that he called friends
No wonder he had prostitutes
And even lepers follow him...
Cuz with his arms wide open
He welcomed one and all
With his arms wide open
He tore down all those walls...
And sinners filled with shame
To the blind and the lame
With his arms wide open
He loved um all the same
And when his days on earth were though...
He'd given all that he could give
So it's no surprise
That he died the same way that he lived...
With his arms wide open
He hung there from a cross
With his arms wide open
That not one soul would be lost...
He turned the other cheek... when they nailed him to a tree
With his arms wide open
He rescued you and me.
With his arms wide open
He set this old world free
With his arms wide open
He bought our...
Eternity...
