[Verse 1]
(A♭) I can feel a stirring deep inside,
(Fm) Like a river rollin’ steady with the tide.
(D♭) I can almost hear the Savior callin’ me by name,
(A♭) The clouds are gatherin’ in the eastern sky,
(Fm) Redemption’s drawing near, I know the time is nigh—
(D♭) Soon and very soon, (E♭) He’s gonna come again!
[Chorus]
(A♭) When Heaven opens wide,
(Fm) And the trumpet splits the sky,
(D♭) The saints of God will rise to meet Him there.
(A♭) Those who’ve gone before will sing,
(Fm) Glory to the Risen King!
(D♭) At the shout of the Lord, (E♭) we’ll meet Him in the air!
(A♭) When Heaven opens wide, (Fm) and Jesus calls us home,
(D♭) I’ll see my loved ones waiting by His throne.
(Fm) We’ll leave this world behind,
(D♭) In a moment—changed in time,
(A♭) When Heaven opens wide, (E♭) we’re goin’ home!
[Verse 2]
(A♭) I see signs of His promise all around,
(Fm) Every heart is waiting for that sound.
(D♭) I can almost hear the Father say, “Son, go bring them in!”
(A♭) The dead in Christ will rise to life,
(Fm) The bride of Christ will shine so bright,
(D♭) When the midnight sky (E♭) breaks open once again!
[Chorus]
(A♭) When Heaven opens wide,
(Fm) And the trumpet splits the sky,
(D♭) The saints of God will rise to meet Him there.
(A♭) Those who’ve gone before will sing,
(Fm) Glory to the Risen King!
(D♭) At the shout of the Lord, (E♭) we’ll meet Him in the air!
[Bridge – (Slow & Soulful)]
(Fm) Oh, can you feel that Holy Spirit movin’?
(D♭) The church is gettin’ ready for the day!
(A♭) The grave will lose its hold, and joy will overflow—
(E♭) Forevermore, we’ll praise His name!
[Final Chorus / Tag]
(A♭) When Heaven opens wide,
(Fm) The angels will testify,
(D♭) That Jesus Christ is Lord, the King of kings!
(A♭) Every tear will fade away,
(Fm) As we stand in endless day,
(D♭) When Heaven opens wide, (E♭) the bells of glory ring!
(A♭) When Heaven opens wide… (Fm) He’s comin’ for His bride!
(D♭) When Heaven opens wide… (E♭) we’re goin’ home tonight!
(A♭) When Heaven opens wide… (soft tag)
(Fm) When Heaven opens wide…
(D♭) When Heaven opens wide…
(A♭) We’re goin’ home!
