Love is always open arms.  With arms open you allow love to come and go as it will, freely, for it'll do so anyway.  If you close your arms about love, you'll find you are left only holding yourself.

"We love each other because He loved us first."  I John 4:19

OPEN ARMS
Many people in the steeple
But no one leaves the walls
Quick to stand and speak
All of their beliefs
Quick to leave you if you fall

Never judging always loving
Needs to BE what we become
Lifting up the lost
Showing them the cross
Shining brightly like the sun

Tell me where's the love
That knows no boundaries
Tell me where's the love
Open arms, we need to be
Open arms
