Songwriting

 

What if Journey's Open Arms was a Christian song? 

There are a few songwriters who take pop songs and rewrite them as songs instead that glorify God and His love; the ultimate love song.

To read blog post about the creation, go here (after Feb. 2023)

To read the new song lyrics, keep scrolling. And if you want to sing along, an instrumental version is below the lyrics.

The below lyrics are based on Journey's "Open Arms."

To eliminate confusion, 

I would re-title this "Open Arms (God, You Welcome Me)" 

Feel free to sing along with the instrumental video below from Youtube. Hit play (you won't have to leave the site!), then scroll back and sing along!) 

Scripture verse that goes along with these lyrics: (Matt. 11:28, 2 Cor. 5:17, John 16:33)

Verse 1: 

Lying alone here, lost in the dark 

Life made me nearly lose my mind 

I hear You whisper

I know Who's near

How could my heart be so blind? 

I once longed to know You, 

But drifted away 

But You never left my side 

Chorus:

And now You welcome me with open arms 

All that you ask, is (I) believe what You say

So here I am, with open arms

Trusting I'll see what Your love means to me, 

open arms 

Verse 2: 

Living without You 

Years spent alone 

a heart that once was so cold 

Wanting to listen 

wanting to hear 

All that I've never known

Thank You for coming, Emmanuel! 

God, You're always with us

(Believers sing that part like this: 😊

Someday you'll come back, turn night into day 

and, forever you will stay) 

And now You welcome me, with open arms 

All that you ask, is believe what You say 

So here I am, with open arms 

Trusting I'll see what Your love means to me, 

open arms
