I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK

I
STAND AT THE DOOR
AND
KNOCK

I
KNOCK SOFTLY
AT FIRST
FOR
I
KNOW
YOU WILL HEAR
ME
AND
ANSWER

I
KNOW
YOU WILL COME
RUNNING
TO
THE DOOR
TO
EMBRACE
ME

I
KNOW
YOU AWAIT MY LOVE
MY GREAT LOVE
FOR YOU

I
KNOCK
AND
I
KNOCK

I
KNOCK
AND
I
KNOCK

THERE
IS
NO
ANSWER

THERE IS
NO
REPLY

WHERE ARE YOU, FRIEND?
AND
WHAT
HOLDS YOUR ATTENTION
SO THAT
YOU CANNOT COME
AND
ANSWER
MY KNOCK?

I
KNOCK
UPON YOUR HEART
CHILD, YOUNG MAN, YOUNG WOMAN

WHERE ARE YOU?

I
STAND
AND
I
KNOCK
BUT ALAS
I
KNOW THERE WILL
NOT
BE
AN ANSWER

THERE WILL
NEVER
BE
AN OPENED DOOR

THERE WILL
NEVER
BE
THE COMMUNION
FOR
WHICH
I
HOPED

FOR
WHICH
I
PLANNED

FOR
WHICH
I
ALLOWED
FOR THROUGH
MY SACRIFICE

YES
I WILL WALK AWAY
                                                . . . AFTER A LITTLE WHILE
I WILL WALK AWAY
                                            . . . . AND I WILL GRIEVE

FOR
I
ALONE
KNOW OF THE
TIMES WE COULD HAVE
SPENT TOGETHER
THE LAUGHTER
THE TOUCHES OF THE HEART
THE TIME SPENT
IN
COMMUNION

BUT
ALAS
YOU WERE
TOO
BUSY TO COME
TO
OPEN THE DOOR

I MISS YOU, THOUGH
FOR YOU SEE
I
CREATED YOU
TO
KNOW ME
TO
ENJOY ME
TO
LOVE ME
AND
FOR YOU
TO
RECEIVE MY LOVE

I
STOOD
AND
I
KNOCKED
I
HOPED
I
PRAYED
I
LONGED
FOR
YOUR EMBRACE
BUT
I
WILL WALK AWAY
SILENTLY . . . BUT HESITANTLY

I
WILL WALK AWAY
BUT
KNOWING
THAT WE COULD HAVE
KNOWN EACH OTHER
TRULY
KNOWN EACH OTHER
FOR
ETERNITY

OH!
 WHAT
I
HAD PLANNED
FOR YOU
THE MANSION
I
HAD PREPARED TO BUILD
THE TIMES
OF
COMMUNING

BUT
ALAS
I
KNOW
YOUR
ANSWER
