Before I see the mountain move
Before I dance upon the waves
Before I speak that it is done
Of my healing
Before You set the wrong things right
Before You lead me to the heights
Before You speak that it is won
Of my victory
Hands high, heart open
All I know is
Praise is an open door
An open door
To an open Heaven
And I praise 'cause I know there's more
I know there's more
More of Your presence
Till I see the mountain move
Till I dance upon the waves
Till I speak that it is done
Of my healing
Till You set the wrong things right
Till You lead me to the heights
Till I feel that it is won
Of my victory
Hands high, heart open
All I know is
Praise is an open door
An open door
To an open Heaven
I'll praise 'cause I know there's more
I know there's more
More of Your presence, oh
Praise is an open door
An open door
To an open Heaven
So I'll praise 'cause I know there's more (I know, I know, I know)
I know there's more
More of Your presence
Here, I'll keep making room
Do what You want to
'Cause I just can't leave the way I came
Here, as I open my mouth
All of Heaven comes down
'Cause I just can't leave the way I came
Here, I'll keep making room
Do what You want to
'Cause I just can't leave the way I came
Here, as I open my mouth
All of Heaven comes down
'Cause I just can't leave the way I came (I just can't leave, oh)
I just can't leave the way I came (I just can't leave, oh)
I just can't leave the way I came (I just can't leave, I just can't leave, oh)
I just can't leave the way I came (I just can't leave the way I came)
I just can't leave the way I came
Praise is an open door
An open door
To an open Heaven
Oh I'll praise 'cause I know there's more (I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it)
I know there's more
More of Your presence (Praise is an open door)
Praise is an open door (An open door)
An open door (Hey, to an open Heaven)
To an open Heaven (Hey, oh, so I'll praise)
I'll praise 'cause I know there's more ('Cause I know there's more)
I know there's more
More of Your presence
So I'll praise 'cause I know there's more
I know there's more
More of Your presence
So I'll praise 'cause I know there's more
Oh, I know there's more
More of Your presence
I just can't leave the way I came
Things are forever changed in Your presence
Things are forever changed
More and more and more and more
More and more and more and more, Jesus
More of You
I just want more and more and more and more
More and more and more and more, Jesus
More of You
I want more and more and more and more
More and more and more and more, Jesus
I just want You
More and more and more and more
More and more and more and more, Jesus
I just want You (Just want You)
"Open Door" by Maverick City Music is a powerful and uplifting song that invites us into a deeper experience of God's presence and an open Heaven. The song is filled with a sense of anticipation and expectation, as the lyrics speak of seeing mountains move, dancing upon waves, and speaking healing into existence. It is a declaration of faith and a reminder that praise is an open door to more of God's presence.
The song opens with the lines, "Before I see the mountain move, before I dance upon the waves, before I speak that it is done of my healing." These words remind us of the power of faith and the importance of speaking life and healing into our circumstances. It echoes the words of Jesus in Mark 11:23, where He says, "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."
The chorus of the song proclaims, "Praise is an open door to an open Heaven, and I'll praise 'cause I know there's more, more of Your presence." This line draws our attention to the fact that praise is not just an expression of gratitude, but it is a key that unlocks the presence and power of God in our lives. It aligns with Psalm 100:4, which says, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." When we come before God with a heart of praise, we open ourselves up to receive more of His presence and experience His goodness.
The bridge of the song declares, "Here, I'll keep making room, do what You want to, 'cause I just can't leave the way I came." These words speak of surrender and a willingness to make space for God to move in our lives. It echoes the words of Isaiah 43:19, where God says, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." When we open ourselves up to God and make room for Him, He can do incredible things in and through us.
"Open Door" is a song that is filled with hope and faith. It reminds us that no matter what challenges we may face, God is with us and He has the power to do the impossible. It encourages us to step out in faith, speak life and healing into our circumstances, and make room for God to move in our lives. The song is a beautiful expression of the heart and passion behind Maverick City Music, a collective of diverse worship leaders and songwriters who seek to create a space for people to encounter God.
In conclusion, "Open Door" by Maverick City Music is a song that invites us into a deeper experience of God's presence and an open Heaven.

The song is a powerful declaration of God's goodness and His ability to do the impossible.
