FFH Album: Have I Ever Told You Track: Open Up the Sky
Open Up the Sky Lyrics
"I had been working on 'Open up the Sky' for a few weeks and was having trouble finishing it. Finally I sent what I had to Brian and within a week he had the rest of the song written. It was the first song we recorded and it set the tone for the rest of the record. 'Open Up the Sky' is a cry for God's involvement in our lives. It talks about never being able to get enough of God's love and a desire to be washed away in it."
I've had my share of heartache I've felt the sting of pain From standing out in the desert Praying for rain I've seen my lonely teardrops Fall down my lonely face Oh how I long to hear the Thunder roll again
And I want to be Swept away in Thee Only You know what I need - so
Open up the sky, rain down Your love I don't care if I never get enough I just want to be caught in that flood So open up the sky, yeah Open up the sky
I've had my disappointments I've cried a time or two These showers of love I long for They only come from You Now I want to go deeper Fall in over my head So send Your Holy downpour And let the healing begin
And I can't wait To be swept away Only You can stop the pain - so
Wash me away 'Cause I don't think I can wait another day
