[Verse 1]
I know it seems like there's nothing sacred anymore
And the world is dark lit up with only flames of war
And it’s such an empty place
When longing for human praise
They walk away; I’m left wide open
And my heart bleeds and breaks wide open

[Chorus]
I hear there’s a sacred place
Just within Heaven’s gates
If only Heaven’s gates were open
If only Heaven’s gates were open

[Verse 2]
I know it seems like there's nothing sacred anymore
Just my salty tears and broken heart was all I wore
A fairytale end for me
Was all I was hoping for
But these hateful scenes play out like songs about divorce

[Chorus]
I hear there’s a sacred place
Just within Heaven’s gates
If only Heaven’s gates were open
If only Heaven’s gates were open
But all I have is a broken heart
And all I do is fall apart
If only Heaven’s gates were open
If only Heaven’s gates were open
[Bridge]
I remember my name
Was the blessing You gave
And you saw the sad ways
That I answered my pain
Put the truth in my soul
That you′ve hidden away
Is the grace of a love far exceeding my shame

[Outro]
There is a sacred place
Just within Heaven′s gates
Love has pushed the gates wide open
Love has pushed the gates wide open
So here I come with all my heart
Waiting for my life to start
I'm running with my arms wide open
I′m running with my arms wide open
And love has pushed the gates wide open
