Enter by the Door

Representative Text

1 Blessed Jesus, I am bringing
All to Thee forevermore;
To Thy cross my hope is clinging,
Let me enter by the door.

Refrain:
Let me enter by the door,
Let me enter by the door,
Let me enter in;
Enter, enter,
Enter in through Christ the door.

2 Sinful things I come forsaking,
Thy forgiveness I implore;
Oh, my heart with sin is breaking,
Let me enter by the door. [Refrain]

3 Holy One, I’ve sinned against Thee,
Yet I count Thy mercies o’er;
Freely pardon now and bless me,
Let me enter by the door. [Refrain]

4 As I come so weak and weary,
Lord, my helpless soul restore;
All my life is sad and dreary;
Let me enter by the door. [Refrain]
