Somebody's knockin' at your door;
somebody's knockin' at your door;
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.

1 Knocks like Jesus,
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
Knocks like Jesus,
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.

2 Can't you hear him?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
Can't you hear him?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.

3 Jesus calls you,
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
Jesus calls you,
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.

4 Can't you trust him?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
Can't you trust him?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
