353. Somebody's Knockin'

Refrain:
Somebody's knockin' at your door;
Somebody's knockin' at your door;
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.

1 Knocks like Jesus,
Somebody's knockin' at your door;
Knocks like Jesus,
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.

2 Can't you hear Him?
Somebody's knockin' at your door;
Can't you hear Him?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.

3 Jesus calls you,
Somebody's knockin' at your door;
Jesus calls you,
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.

4 Can't you trust Him?
Somebody's knockin' at your door;
Can't you trust Him?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
O sinner, why don't you answer?
Somebody's knockin' at your door.
