You Were There Lyrics

Behold, I stand at the door and knock

Oh child, let me in

I know that you are poor and wretched

Burdened by your sin

I offer you myself

But you refuse me still

Yet I stand at the door and knock

My promise to fulfill

You were there when darkness filled the room

You gave a quiet plea to walk away

But I refused you

Behold, I stand at the door and knock

Oh child, let me in

I know that you are poor and wretched

Burdened by your sin

I offer you myself

But you refuse me still

Yet I stand at the door and knock

My promise to fulfill

You were there when the burdens round my neck

Began to sink me deep into the sea

You never left me

Behold, I stand at the door and knock

Oh child, let me in

I know that you are poor and wretched

Burdened by your sin

I offer you myself

But you refuse me still

Yet I stand at the door and knock

My promise to fulfill

You were there when I planned my gruesome end

My sketches filled with death, and then I found

A love song from you

Behold, I stand at the door and knock

Oh child, let me in

I know that you are poor and wretched

Burdened by your sin

I offer you myself

But you refuse me still

Yet I stand at the door and knock

My promise to fulfill

You were there, in the hospital with me

Saying "Peace, be still" to voices in my mind

And then I heard you

Behold, I stand at the door and knock

Oh child, let me in

I know that you are poor and wretched

Burdened by your sin

I offer you myself

But you refuse me still

Yet I stand at the door and knock

My promise to fulfill

Come in

Come in

Oh faithful one

Come in
