'Floodgates'

Yes, this is a song that I wrote. But no, this is not a time when I want to hear praise for me.

All glory to God, the creator and designer;

My sin got nailed to the tree,

But I'm still king of apathy,

His love runs deeper then the ocean,

But I still turn my back,

Regularly.

But the floodgates are open wide,

His arms reaching down to us,

But we swat it away,

And watch our lives decay,

The floodgates are open wide,

His love's pouring out on us.

So I will love you back,

And I will lift my voice on high,

And I will praise you forever,

And I will shout your name from,

The rooftops.

But the floodgates are open wide,

His arms reaching down to us,

But we swat it away,

And watch our lives decay,

The floodgates are open wide,

His loves pouring down to us.

Lord, its nothing I've done,

That will gain me salvation,

Its by your grace and your love,

That you accepted me,

Into your kingdom.

So I will love you back,

And I will lift my voice on high,

And I will praise you forever,

And I will shout your name from,

The rooftops.

But the floodgates are open wide,

His arms reaching down to us,

But we swat it away,

And leave our bodies to decay,

The floodgates are open,

His loves pouring down to us.

 Out of your love you made us,

And out of your love you saved us,

And while we deserved your wrath,

You poured it on your Son instead.

So I will love you back,

And I will lift my voice on high,

And I will praise you forever,

And I will shout your name from,

The rooftops.

So the floodgates are open wide,

His arms reaching down to us,

But we swat it away,

And leave our bodies to decay,

The floodgates are open,

His loves pouring down to us.

Yet too many times,

I find myself,

Wandering off,

Ignoring the love,

He poured down on us.

But I will love you back,

And I will lift my voice on high,

And I will praise you forever,

And I will shout your name from,

The rooftops.

So the floodgates are open,

His arms reaching down to us,

But we swat it away,

And leave our bodies to decay,

The floodgates are open,

His love pouring down to us.
