382. Somebody's Knocking at Your Door

Somebody’s knocking at your door;
Somebody’s knocking at your door;
O sinner, why don’t you answer?
Somebody’s knocking at your door.

1 Knocks like Jesus,
Somebody’s knocking at your door;
Knocks like Jesus,
Somebody’s knocking at your door;
O sinner, why don’t you answer?
Somebody’s knocking at your door.

2 Can’t you hear Him?
Somebody’s knocking at your door;
Can’t you hear Him?
Somebody’s knocking at your door;
O sinner, why don’t you answer?
Somebody’s knocking at your door.

3 Answer Jesus,
Somebody’s knocking at your door;
Answer Jesus,
Somebody’s knocking at your door;
O sinner, why don’t you answer?
Somebody’s knocking at your door.
