175. Open Your Hearts

1 Open your hearts, all you who hear this;
open your hearts to know God's love.
Open your hearts to hear his message:
Jesus makes us one.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord, for he has loved us, alleluia,
and his love is come to free us. Alleluia!

2 We have come to greet the Savior;
we have come to worship him.
We have come to sing God's praises;
worthy is his name. (Refrain)

3 Jesus is here; we bow before him.
Jesus is here within this place.
Jesus is here among his people,
children of his grace. (Refrain)
