Jason Upton The World Is Wide Open
There is a power in poverty that breaks principalities
it brings the authorities down to their knees
There is a brewing frustration and an ageless
temptation
to fight for control through manipulation
The God of the Kingdoms and God of Creation, God of the
Nations
sent this revelation through the homeless, penniless,
Jesus, the Son
"The poor will inherit the Kingdom to come"
Where will we turn when our world falls apart and all
of the treasures we stored in our barns, can't buy the
Kingdom of God?
And who will we praise when we've praised all our
lives, men who build kingdoms and men who build fame,
but heaven does not know their name?
And what are we going to fear, when all that remains is
a God on the throne with a child in his arms and love
in His eyes?
And the sound of His heart cries...
Take us way beyond religion
Way beyond the minds of man
Take us way beyond religion
Take us way beyond politics and the ways of this world
Deeper, We want to Go deeper
Teach us how to love
Teach me how to love
Teach us...
The World is Wide open
The World is wide open
The World is Wide open
Son and Daughters of the Living God
All of heaven is waiting
I hear all of creation crying, "We're waiting"
Show us how to love
Teach us how to love
"Stop telling us you are the chosen people, Start
living like the chosen people"
I am calling your name, every son and daughter....
This song blows me away...
This world is wide open!
It's Time!
It's time to rise up and be Jesus to a world that is
dying.
