美國當代福音樂天后［艾美葛蘭特］──流行／當代福音抒情曲──［Out in the Open／公開］

They were the sweetest words Id ever heard
My heart could barely take it in
Like water offered to the lips
Of a tired and thirsty man
Cuz its a tangled web of woven
I dont know all the reasons
But it amazes me to wake up
To your mercy every morning

So Im standing here spinning around
In the fields of freedom
And Im still alive and reaching out
And I can feel the healing

Cuz you say
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Out in the open
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
There is no jury
There is no judge
Ready and waiting
Are the steady arms of love

For the sake of never making waves I
Kept my secrets to myself
And no one ever really knew the
Darker shadows of my heart
But I will be a witness
That theres nothing in me dark enough
The power of forgiveness
Cannot resuce from the deep

So Im standing here spinning around
In the fields of freedom
And Im still alive and reaching out
And I can feel the healing

Cuz you say
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Out in the open
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
There is no jury
There is no judge
Ready and waiting
Are the steady arms of love

And Im standing here spinning around
In the fields of freedom
And Im still alive
And reaching out
And I can feel the healing

Cuz you say
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Out in the open
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
There is no jury
There is no judge
Ready and waiting
Are the steady arms of love

Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Out in the open
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the arms of love
Into the of light
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
