Oh man, do I love this song. The big last chorus is so beautiful it’s made me cry (though according to my friends, that ain’t saying much). I’m pretty sure Andy Gullahorn wrote this one, but Jill’s voice just knocks it out of the park.
THE DOOR (from the album Nobody’s Got It All Together)
I come to you with my broken heart in my hands
I come to you with my broken heart in my hands
Since you brought dead ones to life
I know you can do that with mine
So I come to you with my broken heart in my hands
I come to you with an anxious and troubled mind
I come to you with an anxious and troubled mind
Just like you did to the seas
I know that you will bring peace
So I come to you with an anxious and troubled mind
I ask I seek and knock
I ask I seek and knock
I ask I seek and knock
That the door will be opened
I come to you with the burdens I can not bear
I come to you with the burdens I can not bear
Your yoke is easy so I
Can trade them for one that is light
So I come to you with the burdens I can not bear
I ask I seek and knock
I ask I seek and knock
I ask I seek and knock
That the door will be opened
the door will be opened
the door will be opened
I come to you with a life that I do not own
I come to you with a life that I do not own
The door to your kingdom is grace
And you gave your own life away
That the door will be opened
