Discover the story of the song > Arms Wide Open – Misty Edwards

The song is about the protagonist's search for the meaning of love, and how she thought it was just romance, luck or a temporary feeling. However, she realized that love is more than that and that it requires giving attention, affection and love to someone else. Through a spiritual experience, she understands that love is about sacrifice, as shown by Jesus's love for humanity when he died on the cross. The protagonist is then called to follow this kind of love and live with abandonment and selflessness.
