Target audience: Those on the verge of giving their life to Christ.
I know you hear Jesus knocking today.
I can tell by that look on your face.
Now you have an important choice to make.
No one can make this choice for you;
only you can decide.
You know you’re the only one
who can make up your mind.
I know you’re contemplating
the pros and cons.
May I give some advice
to help your choice along?
It wasn’t long ago
I stood exactly where you are.
It wasn’t long ago
I first heard Jesus knocking
On the door of my heart.
Now, I admit, when I first heard Him knock
I shut the door tight and I kept it locked.
I bound my heart in heavy chains.
I made my Lord stand in the rain.
For this I now feel so ashamed…
But, as you can see,
Jesus didn’t give up on me!
He didn’t turn away like so many others would.
He stayed, and at the door of my heart
He patiently stood.
He’s at your heart’s door today
and for your choice
He patiently waits.
Don’t hold out the way I did.
Please don’t turn away from
this chance to truly live!
There’s nothing to be afraid of, my friend.
Letting Christ in is life's begining
and death’s final end.
It wasn’t long ago
I stood exactly where you are.
It wasn’t long ago
I first heard Jesus knocking
On the door of my heart.
It’s true, living life for Christ
is a big change.
But I can assure you,
it’s the best change that could ever be made.
It’s true, when you let Him in
your struggles won’t magically fade,
but in your times of weakness
Jesus will give you strength.
Although life’s troubles won’t disappear,
you’ll find in times when you used to be afraid
you’ll feel His peace instead of your fear.
I know you hear Him knocking today,
why not open your heart and let Him in?
There are no losers with Jesus.
When you listen to Him
every situation becomes a win/win.
Jesus died on the cross
to take away your sins.
He freely gives His gift of forgiveness,
all you have to do is accept it from Him.
It wasn’t long ago
I stood exactly where you are.
It wasn’t long ago
I first heard Jesus knocking
On the door of my heart.
Now you hear Him knocking at the door.
Do you even know what you’re waiting for?
Don’t be afraid to let Him in.
He’s here to save your life
and take away your sins.
Open your heart
and let Jesus come in.
I promise you’ll be so glad you did.
