The Knock
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
—Revelation 3:20
Behold I say
Behold
I knock at the door with patience
As steady as the calm seas
Of Jesus' voyage saying
Peace be still
At the door with patience
The Son of man
Stands like a gentleman
Even calls me friend
So he knocks again
As the gentleman knocked
I answered it and He entered in
To behold
A peace of love
That passes all understanding
Firm
but fair yet true*
With God's word
Have you heard
Of God the Father
God the Savior
The Spirit
That knocks
No???
Well open
For He to enter in
To live, Break bread
and Sup with thee
Now that's love
What he shows for us
To know, see, and to do
But only when he enters in
Is life more abundantly
Causing a heart condition
That hurts so good
But that's my Savior
My friend that enters in
Wow
A revelation from this relation
Of scripture
To the mind
The heart and the body of Christ
Listen
The meek gentle man wishes to enter in
YES!
Saints answer the door
If you're tired of the void
And your life wants more
Fulfillment from the gentle man
Who knocks to enter in
So advice
Accept Jesus Christ today to let
your true life begin.
