The Lord came a-Knockin'

The Lord Jesus Christ came a knockin' one day
Upon the heart of a man gone astray.
The man answered gruff,
"I want to stay will all my stuff,"
said he to the Lord "Go away.
I don't need you today."
The next day Jesus came back
Hoping sense the man didn't lack
He knocked again with the same request
"Let me into your heart and be the best,"
but the Lord received the same reply.
"Too busy am I,"
said he. "Go away
I don't need you today."
The following day the man ended up sick, and on his death bed he lay.
"Lord I need you, help I say."
In his heart he opened the door,
but the Lord was there no more.
The man shouted out for he.
Then came the Lord's reply "You called me?"
"I thought you left, gone for good."
"Never will, never would
do you know now what you should
do? Repent and start anew."
"I can change Lord, please don't let me go out like this.
I was wrong, it's you I miss.
I don't need anything but you,
I know now that is true."
The Lord smiled and the man's heart he entered in,
on the man's face came a grin.
He told anyone in the hospital who would listen,
how he just became a Christian.
With his last breath he told the news
how with God in your heart you couldn't lose."
