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 from 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 my gains were 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.

Verse 3
​(High energy, keeping the full band drive)
​Now we march to a different beat
With gospel shoes upon our feet
To every soul in a desert place
We bring the riches of His grace
The grave is empty, the stone is gone
We’re walking in a brand new dawn
What was divided, He makes one
Through the victory of the Son!

​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 abide
In the name of Jesus we are set free...
Praise the Lord We are eternally free.
