Songs of Christian Service ‎#25

25. Behold, I Stand and Knock

1 At the door of your heart that is closed to his love,
There’s a friend that is knocking today,
He desires to come in, all his mercies to prove,
O why will you turn him away?

Refrain:
Behold, I stand at the door and knock:
If any man hear my voice,
And will open the door,
I will come in to him,
And will sup with him, and he with me.

2 At the door of your heart he has waited so long,
With his offer of pardon and peace,
He is ready to save you and keep you from wrong,
To give from each burden release. [Refrain]

3 At the door of your heart stands the Saviour of men,
Will you not open now at his word,
Give him room to abide, for he pleadeth again,
Receive him, your Saviour and Lord. [Refrain]
