Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I guess I've got a lot of learning to do
About the way that you love
Now that I've been left up to me
I gave my love a long time ago
You got a way of wooing me, tender and true
And though I don't deserve it I'm falling into Your
[Chorus:]
Open arms
Your love has taken hold
And I can't fight it
I'm giving in to Your open arms
They pull me to You
They wrap Your love around me
I'll rest in Your open arms
Only yesterday the thought came to me
Is your love as deep as they say
Wonder where those questions come from
Soon as I learn I'll chase them away
Cause I've had a taste of tenderness, simple and true
Drives away the doubting and draws me into your
[Chorus]
I know, I know
I know that I can't fight it
I'm giving in to your open arms
They pull me to You
They wrap Your love around me
I'll rest in Your open arms
