Lyrics to "Open the Skies"
Cursed on the day I was born
Before I knew your name
Cursed with terror and scorn
Trouble and shame
Even my old friends
Wait to see me fall
All our history makes no sense
They’d love to see me crawl
I am numb, I am weak, I am paralyzed
Chorus:
Open the skies
And I will sing to You
Open the skies
Raise this fallen man
For Your glorious plan
Your love abides
I wait for You, to
Open the skies
Open the skies
And I will sing to You
Agony in the garden
The painful drops of blood
You fixed Your face toward glory
From your eternal love
Lord You stand beside me
But I am bruised and tired
My hope is Christ for me
Your purifying fire
I am numb, I am weak, I am paralyzed
Chorus:
Open the skies
And I will sing to You
Open the skies
Raise this fallen man
For Your glorious plan
Your love abides
I wait for You, to
Open the skies
Open the skies
And I will sing to You
