Standing At The Door

Standing At The Door

 

Standing at the door

Your admittance denied

You’ve knocked and knocked

But no one asked you inside

 

Do you feel unwanted?

Unloved and betrayed

Is your heart broken?

Without acceptance you’ve craved?

 

How long will you knock?

 Before you walk away?

Do you think if you stay longer?

Someone might hear you say

 

I’m out here knocking

Please let me come in

Will you walk away?

And will you ever come again?

 

Will you stand there?

Through storm after storm

Or will you go to another door

Where your welcome is warm

 

This door I speak of

Is a door, you well know

A door that has

It’s chain lock in tow

 

Think my friend

Whose door it could be

It’s someone you know

Much better than me

  

If you think real hard

It will come as a shock

Who it was

That kept the door locked

 

It’s the locked door

Of your own heart my friend

And your Savior stands

Waiting to tend

 

You’re His lost sheep

You have wondered astray

He will wait forever

Forever and a day

 

So open this door

And beg Him come in

Ask Him to bear

And forgive all your sin

 

He will wait there

For you as long as you live

Will you wait too long and miss

The gift He has to give?

 

Your Lord has knocked

Will you answer His call?

Or will you wait too long

And loose it all

 

If you open the door

And ask Christ inside?

You will attend the wedding feast

As His Holy Bride
