Jesus Quer Entrar Hoje em Teu Coração

Representative Text

1. Jesus quer entrar, hoje, em teu coração.
Por que não abres, então?
Não deixes que nada Lhe ocupe o lugar;
Ó, que resposta vais dar?

Estribilho:
Vezes sem conta esperado Ele tem,
E, agora, eis que espera, também,
A ver se Lhe queres a porta franquear,
Ó, quanto almeja Ele entrar!

2. Se abrires a porta do teu coração
E O convidares, então,
Jesus te dará Seu divino perdão
E tu terás salvação. [Estribilho]
