Standing, Knocking, Waiting

Verse 1

Sinner, didst thou hear it? "Tis the Saviour's call, Standing, knocking, waiting, Christ the Lord of all; Seeking for an entrance In that heart of thine, Pleading to transform thee By His grace divine.

Chorus

Standing, knocking, waiting, Hear His gentle voice; 'Tis the Saviour calling, Make today your choice.

Verse 2

Tender is His accent, Winning is His tone, Standing, knocking, waiting, Wants thee for a son. Father's house of mansions, Beautiful and fair, Stands in grandeur waiting, He would sup you there.

Verse 3

Oh, canst thou refuse Him, Knocking day by day, Standing, knocking, waiting, Yield without delay; Yes, the Lord Almighty, Humbled in the dust, Beggeth thee as sov'reign, "Take me as Thy guest."

Verse 4

Soon the day is coming, When no more, as now, Standing, knocking, waiting, Christ to thee will bow; On His throne of glory, Thou the beggar then, Judgment passing o'er thee, Thou wilt beg in vain.

Verse 5

Oh, I yield, I open, Saviour, at the door Standing, knocking, waiting, Thou shalt wait no more; Enter with forgiveness, Enter, Peerless One; Treat me as a servant, Never as a son.
