Jesus is standing today
At your heart’s door
He knocks as before,
Oh, turn Him no longer away!
Refrain:
Don’t turn Him away, don’t turn Him away,
He has come back to your heart again,
Although you’ve gone astray;
O how you’ll need Him to plead your cause
On that eternal day!
Don’t turn the Savior away from your heart,
Don’t turn Him away.
2 Gracious, compassionate mercy
Brought Him from mansions above;
Caused Him to wait
Just outside your gate,
O yield to His wonderful love. [Refrain]
3 Can you not now hear Him calling?
Do not ill treat such a Friend;
Give up your sin, Oh, let Him come in,
Lo! He will be true to the end. [Refrain]
4 Now is the time to receive Him,
Grant Him admission today;
Grieve Him no more,
But open your door,
And turn Him no longer away. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Patiently, tenderly pleading]
Don’t Turn Him Away
