Far above and beyond we can imagine
Much more than our eyes could ever see
So many beautiful treasures
Created by so great a King
In the wide open spaces
Of Your glory and grace
We stand and shout our praise
Hallelujah
In the wide open spaces
Where there is freedom
We stand and shout our praise
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Love brought us into this wonderful story
Saved, rescued from death by One crucified
You opened the doors so we could discover
Freedom in Christ, Lord of our lives
In the wide open spaces
Of Your glory and grace
We stand and shout our praise
Hallelujah
In the wide open spaces
Where there is freedom
We stand and shout our praise
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
