Chords for Meredith Andrews - Open Up the Heavens (Acoustic) + Story Behind the Song

_ Open up the heavens is definitely a song that I love to sing and we've been singing at our church
I guess for a few months now and it's so cool [Eb] to see the people [Gb] of God
Sing this song out to the [Ab] Lord and it's like it's kind of a fist-pumping song
I feel like sometimes [F] I want to pump my fist when I sing it sometimes I do but well
I love what it says.
It's kind of like a [E] great
I [Eb] guess opening to a service and [Db] just asking the Lord [Eb] to have his way, you know, basically [G] saying God you're welcome here
Like we're here for you.
[Ebm] You're the reason we're here.
You're the reason we're singing
[Eb] so we just open up the heavens and come [Ab] down and
and the [Eb] bridge just says or show us your glory [F] and show us your power because I really think that
[Gb] when we come together like as
in corporate worship, like our [N] goal is to meet with the Lord and
[Eb] And have him just show up in a powerful way and reveal himself
Because we know that when we get into God's presence like that, it will never be the same
So that's our heart cry in the song Lord.
Show us your glory.
Let's open up the [Bb] heavens _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ We waited for this day we're gathering in your name
Calling out to you
_ _ You're glory like a fire
_ Awakening desire will burn our hearts with true
_ _ _ You're the reason we're here
_ _ You're the reason [F] we're singing
[Bb] So open up the heavens
We wanna see you
