I made a quick acoustic version of a new song I wrote for an upcoming event. You can listen on Spotify (or wherever you stream music). If you want the simplified capo chords as I play them on the acoustic recording, check the lyrics below. If you want a PDF of the chords without the capo, download it here or view it below.

HEAVEN’S DOOR
Key of C, played in G on capo 5
Vertical bars equal measure per chord

VERSE 1: Em | G | C ||
Locked behind fear
The door’s been closed
For what seems a long, long time
The men tremble in the dark

But a woman draws near
To the gardener
Out in the open, in the light
The cherubim his royal guard

PRE-CHORUS 1: Em | Bm | C G |
And there’s no
Door that can block Christ
Resurrection has a way
Of breaking in

He says,
“Peace be
With you here this night”
And he breathes
And sends them out to the earth’s ends

CHORUS 1: G || G/F || Am | C | G ||
May Heaven’s doors
Be flung open
Be wide open
Wide open for us

May the gates of Hell
Be knocked over
Trampled over
Trampled over by us

VERSE 2: Em | G | C ||
Confused and surprised
A trance leads him to
A knock from the outside
Where Jesus breathes upon the lost

The door open wide
To our garden home
To the tree of eternal life
That Jesus climbed to pay the cost

PRECHORUS 2: Em | Bm | C G |
There was
Blood above their doors
Of a lamb that spared them
Of a dark, cold night

And there is
Blood for unmarked doors
Of a man they pierced
Through hands, and feet, and side

BRIDGE: G || G/F || Am | C | G ||
And there’s a “knock, knock, knock”
At the door
A muffled voice is calling
“Here I am, open up”
There is a feast at your table
And I’m able to dine with you

And there’s no prison door
He can’t shake to the ground
Yeah he’s the God who folds
His clothes after he’s out
Of the underworld
And he dines with you

So hold fast to Christ
And he’ll hold fast to you
And doors will open up
For the way and the truth
He is life everlasting
And he dines with you

We want an open door
Yeah you’ve got the keys of David
Want an open door
No one can ever shut
We want an open door
To the wedding feast with you

CHORUS 2: G || G/F || Am | C | G ||
May Heaven’s doors
Be flung open
Ripped wide open
Wide open for us

May the gates of Hell
Be cracked and broken
Smashed wide open
Liberated by us
