Open the Door.

By J. A. Powers

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Rev. 3:20.
OPEN the door, my brother, And let the Lord come in: His presence is sweeter, my brother, Than all the delights of sin. The way that seems broad and flowery Is the way that will end in gloom; The way that is straight and narrow Is the path toward love and home.
Open the door, my brother, So long it was closed and barred That the opening may not seem easy, It may seem exceedingly hard; But it's only in the seeming, To do is the one sweet thing, For opening the door, my brother, Is welcoming in the King.
Open the door, my brother, And open it now to-day, No promise have you of the morrow, The Spirit may turn away; And when you are ready to open, When life has been spent in vain, You may find you too long have waited, And He will not come again. J. A. POWERS.
