I HEARD

I HEARD A KNOCK UPON MY DOOR,

WANT TO GUESS WHOM I DID SEE?

IT WAS JESUS DOING THE KNOCKING,

AND LOOKING STRAIGHT AT ME.

THIS DOOR THAT HE HAD KNOCKED UPON,

WAS THE DOOR KEPT BOLTED TIGHT.

FOR IT WAS THE DOOR TO MY HEART,

WHICH I GUARDED WITH ALL MY MIGHT.

BUT WHEN I SAW HIM STANDING THERE

WITH SUCH LOVE AIMED AT ME,

I THREW THE DOOR WIDE OPEN

AND ASKED HIM TO ENTER, PLEASE.

HE WALKED SOFTLY INTO MY HEART

THE DAY THAT I OPENED THE DOOR,

AND HE SHALL LEAD AND GUIDE ME,

UNTIL I REACH HEAVEN'S FLOOR.

SO WHEN YOU HEAR A KNOCKING

UPON YOUR HEART'S LOCKED DOOR,

THROW IT OPEN QUICKLY,

INVITE HIM IN FOREVER-MORE.

HE SHALL COME AND DINE WITH YOU,

AS HE HAS DONE WITH ME.

HE IS THE KEEPER OF OUR HEARTS,

THIS JESUS FROM GALILEE.
