Fling the doors wide open
is there a need for them to be closed
What are we protecting
our ideals, a set of laws, God
Why does it need protecting
Jesus walked among the outcast
The sinners, called a drunk
he flung the doors wide open and
Was rewarded with ridicule
from those within the doors
We never look too closely
at the criticism to the established
Religion, we only look to criticize
those without, so turn, turn around
Fling the doors wide open
to grace, mercy, hope in this weary
World where to often we create
the nightmare it has become instead
Of the kingdom God intends
fling them open to love, live deeply
is there a need for them to be closed
What are we protecting
our ideals, a set of laws, God
Why does it need protecting
Jesus walked among the outcast
The sinners, called a drunk
he flung the doors wide open and
Was rewarded with ridicule
from those within the doors
We never look too closely
at the criticism to the established
Religion, we only look to criticize
those without, so turn, turn around
Fling the doors wide open
to grace, mercy, hope in this weary
World where to often we create
the nightmare it has become instead
Of the kingdom God intends
fling them open to love, live deeply
