Open up the skies and rain the heavens down, the heavens down
Father open up the skies and rain the heavens down on us
Open up our eyes to see Your glory found, it’s all around
Jesus open up our eyes to see Your glory’s all around
We are longing
Hope is dawning
Heaven’s falling
Come Lord Jesus
Open up our hearts to say, Have Your way, have Your way
Spirit, open up our hearts to say, Won’t You come and have Your way
We are longing
Hope is dawning
Heaven’s falling
Come Lord Jesus
