BEHOLD ME STANDING

Behold Me standing at the door,

And hear Me pleading evermore

With gentle voice - Oh, heart of sin,

May I come in? may I come in?

Behold Me standing at the door!

And hear Me pleading evermore:

Say, weary heart, opprest with sin,

May I come in? may I come in?

I bore the cruel thorns for Thee,

I waited long and patiently:

Say, weary heart, opprest with sin,

May I come in? may I come in?

I would not plead with Thee in vain;

Remember all My grief and pain!

I died to ransom Thee from sin:

May I come in? may I come in?

I bring Thee joy from heaven above,

I bring Thee pardon, peace, and love:

Say, weary heart, opprest with sin,

May I come in? may I come in?
