“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me”
Revelation 3:20
Behold I stand
Before your door and knock
If you will hear my voice
And open up
To welcome me
I will come in
And eat and drink
With you
And you with me
These words of such simplicity
Have always meant the world to me
That God should humbly come
And wait for my response
Not His the role
Too barge right in and take control
He waits my hospitality
Then comes to share a glass with me
If I will welcome Him
To sit before a roaring fire
To talk of life and love
To wile away the hours
To rise above
He does not make as if to leave
Is happy in my company
But if I have too much to do
He will not force the issue
How homely is my Father
So humble, so good to be around
So glad to sit with me His child
To eat and drink
To laugh and smile ,
To chat, converse
As if I were the centre of His universe
