Lyrics

Don’t keep Jesus waiting,
Waiting at the door;
Oft He knock­eth soft­ly,
Softly ev­er­more.

Refrain

Hear Him now and op­en,
Hear Him, I im­plore;
Hear Him now and op­en,
Open now the door.

Don’t keep Je­sus wait­ing,
Waiting at the door;
He will bear you gent­ly,
Gently ev­er­more.

Refrain

Don’t keep Je­sus wait­ing,
Waiting at the door;
He will be your Sav­ior,
Even ev­er­more.
