Open now to Him your heart,
    Let Him in;
If you wait He will depart,
    Let Him in;
Let Him in, He is your Friend,
He your soul will sure defend,
He will keep you to the end,
    Let Him in.

Hear you now His loving voice?
    Let Him in;
Now, oh, now make Him your choice,
    Let Him in;
He is standing at your door,
Joy to you He will restore,
And His name you will adore,
    Let Him in.

Now admit the heav'nly Guest,
    Let Him in;
He will make for you a feast,
    Let Him in;
He will speak your sins forgiv'n.
And when earth ties all are riv'n,
Comfort, rest, you will be giv'n,
    Let Him in.

I learnt this song as a child. God bless my dear mom.Then, the idea of Jesus at the door was mystical. Now, I understand "the door" is real. It's my heart.

Beautiful. It truly touched my heart. Jesus is Lord!
