Lyrics to Open the Door

To Jesus, your son, your gift of love

May be the holy door

God uses to open the heart of a child

Love is the key that unlocks the door

When I'm closing in, your perfect smile

Can open the door to this heart of mine

When Jesus knocks at the door of your heart

Redeemer of heaven and earth

Open the door and invite Him in

He will give you new life and rebirth

He'll give you the spirit to live in your heart

The greatest gift that ever will be

Not only for life here on this earth

But forever in eternity

Don't leave me stranded

Outside in the cold

During wintertime

I need you to keep me warm

Open the door and let me in

'Cause I need you to talk to me

When I'm locked up deep inside

Open the door and let me in

When I'm tied up in a bondage

And there is no way of breaking free

Hear me calling out your name

Come on over, baby

Open the door when you turn the key

When you walk by, you hear somebody else

Knocking on heaven's door

So, open the door and let Him in

Because He needs your love once more

If there's no peace or joy in your life

And life seems too hard to endure

Listen, my friend, when you hear the knock

He's waiting, so open the door

And let Him in

Because He wants your love

Like Uncle Sam

More and more each day

Open the door and let me in

'Cause I need to have you next to me

When I seem so far away

And nobody wants to be alone

So I need somebody in my life

Just to come to my rescue

I'll be coming in for more

So come on over, baby

Open the door and let me in

I'm telling you right now that this is not a joke

It's been a long time since I waited too long

Hurry up; unlock the door with a key and let me in

Because I need your hugging and your kissing

And I need your sweet loving

So don't leave me stranded

Outside in the cold

All winter long

I need you once again

Open the door and let me in

'Cause I need you to talk it over with me

So you can see what's going on

In the world of nowadays

And I need to ask you, "What's happening, brother?"

That's why I need your love once more

Home is calling out your name

So come on over, darling

Open the door and let me in
