THE STRANGER

One day a stranger came and knocked on my heart's door.
He knocked and knocked and knocked, and then HE knocked some more.
HE didn't shove and push, He waited right outside,
until I realized there was nowhere I could hide.
Reluctanly I asked HIM in, not sure if  HE would stay
Then HE began to lead along the narrow way.
HE said, "I came to give you life, it now begins anew,
Because I went to Calvary to shed my blood for you."
And then HE said, "I'll never go and leave you all alone,
l've chosen you, my friend, to be MY very own,
I've waited for this special day when you would ask ME in,
And now I've cleansed you from each and every sin".
