The Sweetsers - You Were There

Behold, I stand at the door and knock
Oh child, let me in
I know that you are poor and wretched
Burdened by your sin
I offer you myself
But you refuse me still
Yet I stand at the door and knock
My promise to fulfill

You were there when darkness filled the room
You gave a quiet plea to walk away
But I refused you

Behold, I stand at the door and knock
Oh child, let me in
I know that you are poor and wretched
Burdened by your sin
I offer you myself
But you refuse me still
Yet I stand at the door and knock
My promise to fulfill

You were there when the burdens round my neck
Began to sink me deep into the sea
You never left me

Behold, I stand at the door and knock
Oh child, let me in
I know that you are poor and wretched
Burdened by your sin
I offer you myself
But you refuse me still
Yet I stand at the door and knock
My promise to fulfill

You were there when I planned my gruesome end
My sketches filled with death, and then I found
A love song from you

Behold, I stand at the door and knock
Oh child, let me in
I know that you are poor and wretched
Burdened by your sin
I offer you myself
But you refuse me still
Yet I stand at the door and knock
My promise to fulfill

You were there, in the hospital with me
Saying "Peace, be still" to voices in my mind
And then I heard you

Behold, I stand at the door and knock
Oh child, let me in
I know that you are poor and wretched
Burdened by your sin
I offer you myself
But you refuse me still
Yet I stand at the door and knock
My promise to fulfill

Come in
Come in
Oh faithful one
Come in
