about

Open Up the Doors
This one is dedicated to one of the most Christ-like people I’ve ever been privileged to meet, my mentor Sr. Mary Catherine Conway, DC. All of the seminarians from Mount St. Mary’s seminary attended Mass at the Daughters of Charity motherhouse in Emmitsburg, MD on the Feast of St. Joseph. I was playing organ for the Mass, and during Msgr. Rohlfs’ homily, I was suddenly struck with both the words and the music for the chorus. Luckily since I was in the choir loft, I could discreetly write them down without anyone noticing.

lyrics

Open Up the Doors (No MM)

Open up the doors, open up your eyes
Let the Spirit blow right through you
Open up your mind, let your soul be free
Let His Spirit come transform you now.

His love is so amazing, I can hardly believe it’s true
There’s something so unchanging ‘bout what He’ll do for you

I know you’re feeling lonely, need a breath of fresher air
He’ll give you grace if only you say a prayer.

Surrender to the ever-living One
Who warms your soul with rays bright as the sun
