Working for our master
In this world below,
Striving to be helpful
Everywhere we go;
Asking those who’re weary
With their load of sin,
To heed Jesus’ calling
And let Him come in.
Refrain
Hear Him knocking now,
Let Him not depart,
Open wide the door,
And ask Him to enter
And dwell in your hearts.
Working for our Savior
Every day and hour,
Making known His goodness,
Mercy, peace and power;
Showing those who wander
In the paths of sin,
The good things He’s promised
If they let Him in.
Refrain
Working for our Savior
With a heart that’s strong,
Helping Him with good
To overcome the wrong;
Pointing those in darkness
O’er and o’er again,
To Jesus, who asks them
To let Him come in.
Refrain
