Let Him In

Let Him In

(Vini Contreas)
I can see you standing in the hallway by the stairs
You were laughing at some joke you said that you heard somewhere
I swear I still can feel the smile on my face as we stepped into the kitchen
It was another time another place

I recall the rain was pounding on the window
Then we watched the sun come breaking through the clouds
We thought that those days could never end though
Way down deep we knew they always do

Remember when we reached the fork I took off to the right
You stood there for a moment I felt you watching me fall out of sight
I turned and called your name but you did not respond
I just hung my head, I knew I'd left but I was thinking you were gone

I recall the rain was pounding on my windshield
As I made my way into the westward wind
I knew that I had left behind a minefield
When up ahead my whole life was to begin

This life is a vapor you know
We all need to learn to make amends as we go

Down along this winding road I've seen my twists and turns
I know I suffer most for lessons I refuse to learn
But I met my Redeemer I received God's only Son
and He's given me the ministry of reconciliation

Now it's me who's pounding on the window
I have come to beg if I have to
Please consider Christ, He died for your sins so
You could be free, He died for me, He died for you too

Yes I know Jesus is knocking at your door
There's no matter where you are or where you've been
He's come to give you life and so much more
and all that you need to do is let Him in . . .
