16. And You Will Not Let Him In

1 Do you know why Christ is knocking, knocking, knocking at the door?
He is waiting, waiting, waiting, soul, to bless you more and more;
Far as east from west He’s ready, ready to remove your sin;
He is calling, calling, calling, let Him in.

Refrain:
He is calling, calling, calling, let Him in;
He is waiting, waiting, waiting to remove your sin;
He is knocking at the door, He is knocking o’er and o’er;
Will you welcome, welcome, welcome Jesus in?

2 Will you longer keep Him waiting, waiting, waiting at the door?
He is calling, calling, calling you and pleading o’er and o’er;
Hear how loudly He is knocking, knocking, ready to forgive,
Only trust Him, trust Him, trust Him, soul and live. [Refrain]

3 Sad to think that He is standing, standing, standing at the door,
And is longing, longing, longing, soul, entreating o’er and o’er,
And you keep the Savior waiting, waiting, by a heart of sin,
And you will not, will not, will not let Him in. [Refrain]
