SOMEONE'S KNOCKING

I HEAR SOMEONE KNOCKING, WONDER WHO IT IS?

THEY KNOCK MANY TIMES BEFORE I REACH THE DOOR.

I PEEK OUT OF THE VIEWER TO SEE WHO IS THERE,

I SEE NO ONE, NO ONE IS STANDING ON THE STAIR.

I GO BACK TO MY DUTIES, THINKING VERY HARD,

WHO WOULD KNOCK AND KNOCK, THEN GO AWAY?

I KNOW IT WASN'T MY JESUS, MY SAVIOR, MY LORD,

FOR WHEN HE KNOCKS, HE ALWAYS DESIRES TO STAY.

YET THE KNOCKING DID CONTINUE,

IT CONTINUED FOR DAYS AND DAYS.

I ASKED MY LORD ABOUT IT,

HE SAID, " WHY DON'T YOU PRAY?"

I KNELT BEFORE MY FATHER ON HIGH,

I WENT TO HIM IN JESUS' NAME,

HE HEARD MY PRAYER, AND ANSWERED ME,

HIS ANSWER WENT THIS WAY:

"DEAR DAUGHTER, MY LOVELY DAUGHTER,

YOU HAVE FINALLY COME TO ME,

TO GIVE TO YOU THE ANSWER,

THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE."

"THE KNOCKING IS IN YOUR VERY HEART,

AND NOT UPON YOUR FRONT DOOR.

THE ONE WHO IS DOING THE KNOCKING,

IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND HE WANTS THE FLOOR."

"HE WANTS YOU TO START LISTENING TO HIM,

AND NOT THE VOICES FLOATING IN THE AIR.

HE WANTS TO GUIDE AND TEACH YOU,

THINGS THAT ARE OF HEAVENLY AFFAIRS."

"HE WANTS TO LOVE ALL PEOPLE THROUGH YOU,

HE WANTS YOU TO BE A MODEL FOR ALL TO SEE,

HIS LOVE, HIS MIGHTY LOVE, POURING FROM YOU,

IT SHALL DRAW OTHERS TO HIM TO SEE,"

" THAT JESUS DIED UPON THE CROSS,

TO SAVE THOSE WHO BELIEVE, FROM THE FALL,

TO CALL THE WHOLE WORLD TO HIM,

FOR HE IS THE ONLY TRUE SAVIOR OF ALL."
