To Jesus, your son, your gift of love May be the holy door God uses to open the heart of a child Love is the key that unlocks the door When I'm closing in, your perfect smile Can open the door to this heart of mine When Jesus knocks at the door of your heart Redeemer of heaven and earth Open the door and invite Him in He will give you new life and rebirth He'll give you the spirit to live in your heart The greatest gift that ever will be Not only for life here on this earth But forever in eternity Don't leave me stranded Outside in the cold During wintertime I need you to keep me warm Open the door and let me in 'Cause I need you to talk to me When I'm locked up deep inside Open the door and let me in When I'm tied up in a bondage And there is no way of breaking free Hear me calling out your name Come on over, baby Open the door when you turn the key When you walk by, you hear somebody else Knocking on heaven's door So, open the door and let Him in Because He needs your love once more If there's no peace or joy in your life And life seems too hard to endure Listen, my friend, when you hear the knock He's waiting, so open the door And let Him in Because He wants your love Like Uncle Sam More and more each day Open the door and let me in 'Cause I need to have you next to me When I seem so far away And nobody wants to be alone So I need somebody in my life Just to come to my rescue I'll be coming in for more So come on over, baby Open the door and let me in I'm telling you right now that this is not a joke It's been a long time since I waited too long Hurry up; unlock the door with a key and let me in Because I need your hugging and your kissing And I need your sweet loving So don't leave me stranded Outside in the cold All winter long I need you once again Open the door and let me in 'Cause I need you to talk it over with me So you can see what's going on In the world of nowadays And I need to ask you, "What's happening, brother?" That's why I need your love once more Home is calling out your name So come on over, darling Open the door and let me in

about

Sorry that Laurie Maitland's decent Christian soul song, "Open The Door" lost the Top 40 when it got demolished by an indecent song, "Candy Licker" by Marvin Sease.
