Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You think you've drifted out of reach
Disappeared into the night
Middle of the ocean, no rescue in sight
You think you're out of second chances
One too many mistakes
Whole life of running for nothing cause there's no escape
The loving arms of God are as wide as the world
They never stop rebuilding the bridges we've burned
Forever after lost ones till the last one's returned
The loving arms of God are as wide as the world
White knuckles wide open
Laying down the fight
Finally finding you don't have to hold on so tight
No more weapons left to carry
No more enemy lines
Standing on a street called forgiveness with heart's reconciled
The loving arms of God are as wide as the world
They never stop rebuilding the bridges we've burned
Forever after lost ones till the last one's returned
The loving arms of God are as wide as the world
There is room for you
There is room for me
There is no such thing
As no vacancy
The loving arms of God are as wide as the world
They never stop rebuilding the bridges we've burned
Forever after lost ones till the last one's returned
The loving arms of God are as wide as the world
They never stop reaching
They never stop reaching
The loving arms
The loving arms of God are as wide as the world
