When He Comes Knocking
When He comes knocking on your door
Will you go and see who is there?
Or will you ignore, refuse to answer
Decline to listen to what he shares?
And if He keeps on persistently knocking
And you refuse to let Him come in
It means you’re comfortable where you are
And you will keep on committing sin
The knocking on your door you will ignore
And will continue to turn a deaf ear
Over time that knocking will fade away
Your response to Him was crystal clear
But if that knocking makes you curious
Then there’s a chance you will listen
The truth to you will become revealing
And in remorse, your eyes will glisten
That knocking will then become a tugging
As your heartstrings, He will pull
And then as the Holy Spirit convicts
Your repentance will be honest and full
Whether the knock is subtle or loud
He will continue until you say no
He will cry because He truly loves you
Knowing that to Hell you will go
If you get very quiet you can hear it
That gentle knocking in your heart
Our precious Savior has come calling
His love for you will never depart
He stands patiently at your heart’s door
Waiting for you to let Him come in
He will save you just as you are
With His blood, He’ll wash away your sin
