Don't Knock

You don't knock, ring, punch a hole

The door's wide open waitin' for your soul

You don't knock just walk on inI've walked life's winding road

'Cause I'm tryin' to bear the load

And I traveled both night and day

So tired I could hardly pray

Jesus, my light and guide

Is ever on my side.

I'm just a waitin' and a knockin' in the heaven

With fireYou don't knock

(You don't knock you just walk on in)

The door

(The door into heaven's inn)

There's love

(There's love and joy for you

To share

(To share the whole day through)

And I know

(I know my friends are there)

To rest

(To rest in heaven's nest)

You don't knock, ring, punch a hole

The door's wide open waitin' for your soul

You don't knock just walk on inI'll have no need to fear (Oh, yeah!)

He is ever near (Oh, yeah!)

He knows my work was true (Oh, yeah!)

So glad the day is through (Yeah!)

Well it wasn't for me to say (Oh, yeah!)

I didn't think I'd make my way (Oh,Yeah!)

So, I'm a-walkin', not a-knockin', to heaven with pride
