Jesus Is Knocking--By Helen Dowd--Canada

Jesus Is Knocking

Jesus is standing at your heart's door today.
He is patiently waiting. Don't send Him away.
He's calling so softly, He wants to come in.
He'll heal all your sorrows, and cleanse you from sin.

Jesus has knocked on your heart's door before.
But you haven't answered, tho' He's knocked o’er and o'er.
Oh please, dear one, listen. He silently waits.
If you put Him off longer, it may be too late.

Don't be afraid of what He may find,
Inside of your heart, or inside your mind.
He died on the cross to redeem you from sin.
So please, dear friend, listen. Oh, let the Lord in.

Don't let Satan tell you that your sin is too great.
He wants you to linger--to procrastinate.
But please friend, don't listen to Lucifer's lies.
COME, open to Jesus. He's still standing by.

      Thank you, Michael, for your comment on my poem, "Jesus Is Knocking." Yes, the world is certainly in an hour of great need. And regardless of "election results", God is still on the throne, and the world is in His hands...Blessings, Helen...helenmdowd@shaw.ca
