The Open Door

Verse 1

​(Quiet acoustic guitar or piano)

The walls I built were high and cold

A story that the shadows told

I ran a race I couldn’t win

Beneath the heavy weight of sin

But then a Voice broke through the gale

A love that stepped behind the veil

To find the heart that lost its way

And turn the darkness into day.

​Chorus

​(Building energy, adding drums)

For He is the peace when the mountains shake

He is the freedom in the chains that break

No longer bound by the fears of old

We walk in a story of grace untold

In the name of Jesus, the war has ceased

Infinite freedom, perfect peace.

​Verse 2

​(Full band, driving rhythm)

It isn’t found in silver gates

Or power that the world creates

It’s found within a rugged cross

Where every gain was counted loss

Now mercy flows like a river wide

With nothing left for us to hide

The Prince of Peace has called us friends

A kingdom light that never ends.

​Bridge

​(Triumphant and repetitive)

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, we are finally free

From the inside out, let the healing start

He’s writing "Peace" on every heart.

​Chorus

​For He is the peace when the mountains shake

He is the freedom in the chains that break

No longer bound by the fears of old

We walk in a story of grace untold

In the name of Jesus, the war has ceased

Infinite freedom, perfect peace.

​Outro

​(Fading out, back to acoustic)

Perfect peace...

The door is open wide.

In Christ alone, we’re free.

We’re free.
