The Savior Is Waiting
Verse 1
The Savior is waiting to enter your heart,
Why don't you let Him come in?
There's nothing in this world to keep you apart,
What is your answer to Him?
Why don't you let Him come in?
There's nothing in this world to keep you apart,
What is your answer to Him?
Refrain
Time after time He has waited before,
And now He is waiting again
To see if you're willing to open the door:
O how He wants to come in.
And now He is waiting again
To see if you're willing to open the door:
O how He wants to come in.
Verse 2
If you'll take one step toward the Savior, my friend,
You'll find His arms open wide;
Receive Him, and all of your darkness will end,
Within your heart He'll abide.
You'll find His arms open wide;
Receive Him, and all of your darkness will end,
Within your heart He'll abide.
A 20th-century evangelical hymn emphasizing Christ's patient readiness to receive those who respond to His call.
