Just Outside the Door

O wea­ry soul

the gate is near;

In sin why still ab­ide?

Both peace and rest are wait­ing here

And you are just out­side.

Just out­side the door

Just out­side the door

Behold

it stands ajar!

Just out­side the door

Just out­side the door

So near and yet so far!

Forgiveness Je­sus will im­part—

To save your soul He died;

How can you still of­fend His heart

By stay­ing just out­side?

The day of life is pass­ing by;

Soon night your soul will hide;

And then too late will be your cry

If you are just out­side!

Come in

be free from stains of sin;

Be glad

be sa­tis­fied;

Before the tem­pest breaks

come in

And leave your past out­side.
