Crowning Glory No. 2 ‎#194

194. I'll Enter the Open Door

1 I have longed for the bliss of pardon,
And sigh'd to be cleans'd from sin,
And I know if I come believing
My Savior will let me in.
For the door of His love is open,
He waiteth for those who seek,
But I tremble with fear and doubting,
Oh, why is my faith so weak?

Chorus:
I'll enter the open door,
I'll enter the open door,
'Tis Jesus invites, I'll enter in,
I'll enter the open door.

2 I will trust thou' I walk in darkness,
And pray till the light I see,
For the blood that will cleanse the vilest
Will surely avail for me.
I have only the plea to offer,
That Jesus for me has died,
And with only my heart to give Him,
I haste to His blessed side. [Chorus]

3 I have long'd for the bliss of pardon,
And sigh'd to be cleans'd from sin,
And I knock at the door believing
That Jesus will let me in.
Oh, the faith in my soul grows stronger,
I tremble with fear no more,
'Tis my Savior that bids me welcome,
I'll enter the open door. [Chorus]
