The Savior Is Waiting

1.1. The Savior is waiting to enter your heart.The Savior is waiting to enter your heart.

Why don't you let Him come in? Why don't you let Him come in?

There's nothing in this worldThere's nothing in this world

to keep you apart,to keep you apart,

what is your answer to Him?what is your answer to Him?

Time after time He has waited before, Time after time He has waited before,

and now He is waiting again,and now He is waiting again,

To see if you're willing to open the door.To see if you're willing to open the door.

O how He wants to come in!O how He wants to come in!© 1958 Sacred Songs, Inc. Renewed 1986 Ralph Carmichael. Assigned 1987 to Spiritquest Music (ASCAP)
