Lord, Knock On My Door

Life is so hard, so filled with pain
I wonder when peace will ever find me again
Lord are you listening, do you hear my plea
When will you ever come to me?
When will you hear me and knock on my door
That's what I'm waiting and praying for.

Ask and ye shall receive you said
And I truly have faith in what I’ve read
But I must confess, though I'm trying my best
I'm growing more weary and longing for rest.
When will you hear me and knock on my door
That's what I'm waiting and praying for.

Please hear me Lord. I feel your love
But I need your guidance Now from above
Give me a sign, show me the way
I'm holding on day by day
Will you ever hear me and knock on my door
That's what I am waiting and praying for
Please come to me Lord and I will open the door
Come to me Lord...and I will open my door

Thanks Juanita...I have a copy of the song, played and sung by Ken Lehire, who read my poem and asked permission to put it to music. I can forward it to you if you would like to hear it! Bea
