Knockin' On My Door

There came a knockin' on my door one night around 6 O'clock I had no invitation, nobody to jot I opened up the door and to my surprise There was a bright and shining man with these piercing eyes, he said Sonny you've been living your life with ease Time to get back to work, son, get back on your feet He left on that note without gloves or a coat Even though the sky was grey There came a knockin' on my door And I don't even know what for After he left that night, I didn't think twice Didn't stress, didn't worry, didn't leave on a light, no I thought it was a dream 'cause there was no explanation Why a man would show up to give me that brief exhortation Thinking 'bout the words that this man had said Started searching for some meaning as they raced around my head Then I stopped with a start at the thought of repentance And this is where I started to learn my lesson My life changed in so many ways, started workin' started earnin' Got a job, making minimum wage Now I praise the Lord, for the life that He gave For the pain and all the suffering for my soul that He saved Now I'm walkin' around, talkin' aloud, preachin' the town I don't know if they'll listen, but I won't step down now Oh, there came a knockin' on my door Oh, it was a wake up call for my life to begin Thought I was doing fine, turns out I was drownin' Oh, there came a knockin' on my door
