Open up the gates of love
Turn the tide and stop the flood
You’ve got my heart now, got my soul.
Who is my neighbor, where’s the love?
That speaks for those our world has lost
It’s every heart now, it’s every soul

We are one, when our beating/bleeding hearts belong
And our love can be the revolution
That sees your kingdom come

God is smiling over us tonight
God is smiling over us tonight
Where hearts are broken love unites
God is smiling, God is smiling over us tonight

So we must cross the great divide
Of colour, creed of wealth and pride
Break ours hearts and save us all
So can we sing a brand new song?
Where former enemies belong
It’s every heart now, every soul.

You are the center.




Behind the Song:
"This phrase came as a spontaneous song during the drop down section in the song “History Maker.” I was talking about the things that make God smile, and also the things that don’t make him smile. Injustice and poverty are two of those things and need to be addressed if we are to be called “Christians.” We joined hands-- God always smiles when people step outside themselves and become part of something bigger. We felt the electricity as we sang, “God is smiling over us tonight.” This then became the song it is today." - Martin Smith (Delirious?)
