| Let Him Enter I heard a knock so softly, a rap upon my door, I did not want to stop to see what this caller came here for. I sat and watch the movie, thinking of other things, And fell into a restless sleep, the kind that worry brings. I woke and felt I had not slept; for my mind it did not rest, And I felt and looked as though no food I could digest. I heard that familiar knock again, a softly tapping sound As I went about my day, With no happiness to be found. I went about my business; not wanting to take the time, To see just who was knocking, Not caring who I would find. I cried that night and felt that no one cared for me. As I tried to sleep away the pain, That I felt no one else could see. Soon each day and every year just seemed to be the same. My life was passing by me, with sadness, guilt and shame. I soon began to feel that my heart would find no peace As I layed awake one night and my tears just would not cease. I heard a faintly knock, so softly and so sincere. I went to open up the door, After all those lonlely years. I saw a smile upon His face, as He gently called my name. I ran into His open arms, My heart so filled with shame. My Lord just reach his loving hand and wiped away each tear. He took away hurt and pain that I carried all my years. I now can see my life was planned by Him who died for me, He has the plan of life set out and knows just what will be. He gently knocks upon our hearts, but will not enter in.. Unless we open up the door, And let Him be our friend. So now I pray each day for strength and I find I can go on For Jesus stays so near to me, and the battle has been won. by Diane 04-30-00 |
