LET HIM IN !!

I wonder about those people
Without God in their lives....
I wonder who they turn to
Do they live?  Or just survive?
Are you one of those people?
I was, too, once before...
I heard the sound of Jesus knocking
But I would not get the door!

All throughout my teenage years
I ignored what my heart knew was true
Wondering why misfortune followed me
Why I stayed so sad and blue!
Now I'm grateful that the Savior
Did not turn and walk away!
When my heart's door failed to open
I'm so very glad He stayed!

Year after year, His gentle knock
Was ignored by me completely!
Although, when I finally answered
He rejoiced so warm and sweetly!
Since then, my life's been different
His joy has filled my heart and home
I still have my share of suffering, sure....
But now...I'm not alone!

So if you know of someone
Who pretends they cannot hear
Jesus knocking on their heart
Do your best to make it clear!
Just how very much He loves them
All His children...every one!
He died in pain to pay our debt
And He's still ignored by some!

The best way to show your gratitude
For the suffering He went through?
Is to spread His Word to everyone
Letting His light shine through YOU!
Be ready always to explain
Your faith and trust in Him...
Teach others to listen for His knock
And for their souls sake...LET HIM IN!!
