The Door

We were on the outside

We were trying to get in

But we were carrying a burden

Of death and guilt from sin

We were trying to buy a ticket

We were pounding ten times more

But there's only one way to enter in

By the one who is the door.

Knock and His door shall be opened

Seek and you will find,

If your heart's contrite and needy

And you're know you're weak and blind

Cause it's locked up from the inside

And you don't have a key

But the one who holds the keys of life

Has worked for you and me.

Now there is only one door

Not many like some say

One way through to heaven's gates

That's through the One who is the Way.

The veil of separation

Was parted at his cost

To make a way of entry

And a refuge for the lost.

So lay down all your burdens

Only he can grant you sight

Only he can cleanse you from your Sin

And draw you to the light

Enter in God's Holy presence

What are you waiting for?

Come in from all your wandering

For Jesus is the door.

So call out to the watchman

And kneel down on the floor

Cast yourself upon its threshold

Jesus has become the Door

And He opens into heaven

And He opens into grace

And He opens into glory

And He's made for you a place.

And He opens into heaven

And He opens into grace

And He opens into glory

And He's made for you a place.
