Open Arms
Embrace Love: Michael W. Smith's Call for Open Arms
Lyrics
Many people in the steeple
Observing a congregation of people in a church steeple.
But no one leaves the walls
Highlighting the reluctance of people to leave the church community.
Quick to stand and speak all of their beliefs
Noting the readiness of people to express their beliefs.
Quick to leave you if you fall
Expressing the tendency of some to abandon others in times of need.
Tell me where's the love
Prompting a question about the presence of love and its boundaries.
It knows no boundaries
Stressing that love should be limitless.
Tell me where's the love, yeah, yeah
Reiterating the query about the existence of love.
Open arms, we need to be open arms
Advocating for an open and welcoming attitude symbolized by 'open arms.'
Never judge You, always loving
Encouraging non-judgmental and unconditional love.
Needs to be what we become
Emphasizing the need for individuals to embody love in their actions.
Lifting up the lost, showing them the cross
Supporting and guiding those who are lost, with reference to the Christian cross.
Shining brightly like the sun
Urging believers to shine brightly in their faith like the sun.
Tell me where's the love
Repeating the question about the expansiveness of love.
It knows no boundaries
Reaffirming the idea that love should have no boundaries.
Tell me where's the love, yeah, yeah
Reiterating the inquiry into the presence of love.
Open arms, we need to be open arms, yeah
Stressing the importance of being open-armed and welcoming.
Tell me where's the love
Asking again where love is, with a focus on its boundless nature.
It knows no boundaries
Affirming that love should have no limitations.
Tell me where's the love, yeah, yeah
Repeating the query regarding the existence of love.
Open arms, we need to be open arms, oh yeah
Emphasizing the need for an open and embracing approach.
And everybody sing
Inviting everyone to sing about the importance of open arms.
Open arms, we need to be open arms
Reiterating the call for an open and welcoming demeanor.
And the whole world sing
Encouraging the entire world to join in the call for open arms.
Open arms, we need to be open arms
Reiterating the plea for a universal embrace of open arms.
