Representative Text

1 Ouve como à porta chama,
Alma sem consolação!
É Jesus, que está querendo
Ocupar teu coração.

Refrain:
Dá lugar a Jesus Cristo!
Abre a porta desde já!
Se Lhe deres acolhida,
Sempre em ti habitará.

2 Oh! Talvez teus companheiros
Desejasses receber
Em lugar do bom Amigo
Que por ti ousou morrer!

3 Tens tu tempo para Cristo
Ou te chama sempre em vão?
Hoje é tempo de aceitares
Esta grande salvação.

4 Breve cessará a chamada
Do bondoso Salvador;
Ouve o Seu real convite
Pra gozares Seu amor.
