"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." Rev. 3:2020Behold, 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).
"I am standing outside thy door tonight,
Seeking thine heart to win;
The world for a while has withdrawn its light—
Wilt thou open and let Me in?
I have traveled far on a lonely road,
In sorrow and agony;
I have borne sin's heavy crushing load,
All for the sake of thee.”
"I am standing to plead with thee tonight,
While the dews of evening fall;
O'er the moaning and surging waves of life,
Dost thou hear My yearning call?
I would free thy soul from the chains of earth,
Its care, its sorrow, its sin,
I would give thee joy for its hollow mirth—
Wilt thou open and let Me in?”
"From the glorious heights of heaven I came,
To seek thee and to save;
But the world, it gave Me a cross of shame,
And a lonely borrowed grave.
I left My radiant home above,
All for the sake of thee:
I have died, to prove My deep, deep love—
Wilt thou open the door to Me?”
"Thou hast wandered far in the paths of sin,
Thou art weary, and sad and lone;
But My blood can cleanse, and My blood can win,
May I make thine heart My own?
The world, it has given thee care and pain,
Often famine and misery;
I offer the treasures of priceless gain—
Wilt thou open the door to Me?”
"If thou wilt not answer My pleading call,
If thou wilt not open to Me.
Thou wilt sadly repent thy willful choice,
Through a lost eternity!
And thy bitter cry will arise too late—
"Open, O Lord, to me!”
While the door of grace, where thou madest Me wait,
Must be shut forever to thee?”
