Door in the Wall

You made a door in the wall (a door),
When the stone said this is all.
When I saw nothing there at all,
You made a door in the wall.

There was a wall in front of me (a wall),
Everybody swore that it was the end.
No money left and no favor,
No number left at all to call a friend.
I laid my open palm against the stone (the stone),
Cold and final, ten feet high and tall.
I had no key, no strength, no plan —
Then You made a door in the wall.

Where the final no was carved in stone (in stone),
Closer than I dared to think —
You opened what I couldn't even see:

You made a door in the wall (a door),
A yes where the whole world said no.
I had no key, no strength, no plan —
You made a door in the wall.

We saw it (we saw it),
We saw it happen.
Where the wall said never —
A door in the wall.

I've told this story a hundred times (a hundred),
And it still comes and undoes my chest,
How the very thing that had no exit
Somehow opened to something better than the best.
So don't tell me it's too solid (don't),
Don't tell me it's too tall.
I have stood in front of finished
And watched a door break through the wall.
So now I'll knock again on solid granite (I'll knock),
And I'll wait for Him to answer.

What broke the wall? (You did),
When it was ten feet tall? (You did),
When the stone said never? (You did),
When my own strength was gone? (You did),
When there was no hope at all? (You did),
You made a door in the wall (You did).

You did it when the door slammed shut,
You did it when the last no came,
You did it when I'd stopped believing
That anything could change.
So I'll stand here as a witness (a witness)
To the God who breaks the wall.
The God who opened mine before
Still answers when we call.

You made a door in the wall (a door),
A yes where the whole world said no.
I had no key, no strength, no plan —
And I'm still telling it today.

A door in the wall (a door),
Where there was none at all.
No key, no strength, no plan at all —
You made a door in the wall.
