Somebody’s Knockin’

By Kathryn Taylor

He’s knockin’ on my door

And He wants in……

Oh, how can I trust a man again?…

“I want you to trust,” He says to me-

“But, they’ve all let me down…..

can’t you see!!”

He said, “I know….I was there…..

It hurt me, too….

When I saw what they did,

I cried with you….

I was there….

Don’t you remember our talks??

We kept company on quiet, long walks….

I’m sorry, dear one, but they have a free will….

Why….even me…they wanted to kill!

Remember, I am the Way,

The Truth, and the Life…

Don’t give up because of your strife!

I love you forever….Hold on to that!

I want you in my fold…please come back!

I was rejected by everyone as well….

What do you say?….Please! Come tell.….”

Well…I couldn’t speak…..

Nor could I cry….

But, as I looked into His eyes,

I could see His abounding love,

And that was all He was made of…..

He was mine…..paid for and free-

All I had to do was let Him be

Back in my heart….where I’d asked Him to come

As a child, still able to trust someone-

“Oh Lord…I come to You as a child.”

“Now you’ve got it!!” Jesus said and smiled-

I imagined myself running into His embrace,

As He gladly welcomed me through His grace-

So often, as we grow older, we allow our wounds and hurts to turn us away from God......When it should make us depend on Him more........
