WHEN JESUS KNOCKED

When I was straying out 
in sin
My Jesus spoke to me
His voice I certainly heard
as He said Come unto me
I’ll make you a pure child of God
And get you free from sin
if you’ll open your heart
and let me in.

When Jesus knocked at
my heart’s door I let Him in
He came inside and found my heart
Was stained in sin
He gave me joy and
peace the world
Could never know, He took
my heart and washed it white
And spotless as snow,
I’m happy now and other souls
I will help to win, Since I opened
up my heart and let Him in.

When Jesus knocked at
my heart’s door
I wanted Him to stay, When
I yielded to Him all my burdens
rolled away,
And now I know why Jesus died
Upon the cross that day,
When I opened up
my heart and let Him in.
