Nichole Nordeman - Please Come lyrics
rate meOh, the days when I drew lines around my faith<br />
To keep you out, to keep me in, to keep it safe<br />
Oh, the sense of my own self entitlement<br />
To say who's wrong or won't belong or cannot stay<br />
<br />
'Cause somebody somewhere decided<br />
We'd be better off divided<br />
And somehow despite the damage done<br />
He says, "come" ...<br />
<br />
There is room enough for all of us, please come<br />
And the arms are open wide enough, please come<br />
And our parts are never greater than the sum<br />
This is the heart of the One<br />
Who stands before an open door and bids us, "come"<br />
<br />
Oh, the times when I haved failed to recognise<br />
How may chairs are gathered there around the feast<br />
To break the bread and break these boundaries<br />
That have kept us from our only common ground<br />
The invitation to sit down<br />
If we will come ...<br />
<br />
There is room enough for all of us, please come<br />
And the arms are open wide enough, please come<br />
And our parts are never greater than the sum<br />
This is the heart of the One<br />
Who stands before an open door and bids us, "come"<br />
<br />
Come, from the best of humanity<br />
Come, from the depths of depravity<br />
Come now and see how we need<br />
Every different bead on this same string<br />
Come ...<br />
<br />
There is room enough for all of us, please come<br />
And the arms are open wide enough, please come<br />
And our parts are never greater than the sum<br />
This is the heart of the One<br />
Who stands before an open door and bids us, "come"
