open the door, let Him in
This is the end of the song Dr. Hehn always leads during fellowship on Sunday. We all sing (not just the kids), complete with hand motions!
Knock, knock, knock,
I hear Jesus knocking
tug, tug, tug,
tugging at my heartstrings
thump, thump, thump,
my heart started thumping
when I heard him knocking...
...Now I was smart, to let Him in my heart
when I heard Him knocking
And you'll be smart to let Him in your heart
when you hear Him knocking...
Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20
Blessings, Debbie

Amen!!! x
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear the TUNE! This looks like it would be a song that you'd never be able to get out of your mind.
ReplyDeleteYou reminded me of a Marj Snyder song from that verse. "I will come into him, and sup with him, and he with me." Remember that old pamphlet titled, My Heart, Christ's Home?
ReplyDeleteI love the words to that song. I've never heard it, but in my head it's a festive chorus.
ReplyDeleteIt's very convicting to me that those words were uttered INWARD to the church and not outward to the multitude.
And now I'm singing my own favorite knocking song from my childhood.
Behold! Behold! I stand at the door and knock knock knock...
I love that you all sing it! Clapping..for Jesus knocking!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom made me memorize the verse before she died. She even left in written on little notes I found after she died and I was so lost. I never read it that I don't think about her and having to trust Jesus more for us than she was afraid to die.
ReplyDeleteI, too, wish we could hear the tune...love the words! Thanks for sharing...and opening doors.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful reminder to keep answering the door and letting our Lord into our lives and live for Him...first.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the tune but I loved the words.
Blessings and ((HUGS))

ReplyDeleteThank God for knocking on the door!!!
ReplyDeleteWould you sing it for us?
ReplyDeleteI like.
I'd say that is a pretty good song to sing every week and all in between! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteLove that you do the motions along with the song and it's so helpful to the little ones. (and us not so little ones)
ReplyDeleteThat verse is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! The motions always go through my mind from childhood..we still do many of them through our songs...:)
ReplyDeleteLove the verse and lyrics!
