1 The mistakes of my life are many,
The sins of my heart are more,
And I scarce can see for weeping;
But I knock at the open door.

Chorus:
I know I am weak and sinful,
It comes to me more and more;
But when the dear Saviour shall bid me come in,
I'll enter that open door.

2 I am lowest of those who love him,
I am weakest of those who pray:
But I come as he has bidden,
And he will not say me nay. [Chorus]

3 My mistakes his free grace will cover,
My sins he will wash away,
And the feet that shrink and falter,
Shall walk through the gate of day. [Chorus]
