Album: EFY 1997 – Living the Legacy
Song Title: Knockin’ on the Door

His journal ((I’m not sure about this word… anyone have another idea?)) on his back and the shoes on his feet
Not a penny to his name, not a single thing to eat ((D&C 84:86))
But the bread of life ((John 6:33, 35, 48, 51)) in his right hand is all he’ll ever need
‘Cause he get’s his fill, working the will, feeding sheep ((John 21:15-17))

Standin’ in the middle of the endless field of wheat ((D&C 4:4 On a side note, my whole life I always thought that ‘already to harvest’ was ‘ALL READY to harvest.’ It doesn’t make a big difference, but was a great revelation this past Sunday when I realized my mistake.))
Lookin’ down he finds a sickle on the ground beneath his feet
Wraps his hands around the handle well used and worn
While wisdom is wispering ‘You gotta beat the storm!’ ((D&C 33:3, 7, Jacob 5:61-62))

CHORUS:
Keep knockin’ on the door
Like thousands who have been there before
Come labor in the vineyard
Come Fish in the sea
Come join in the harvest
Come set them free
Even though your hands are worn
Keep knockin’ on the door

Nets filled with nothin’ to show for the day
Out from the shoreline you can hear someone say
Cast your net to the other side, try once again ((John 21:6))
A catching of a vision, fishers of men.

Chorus

Keep knockin’, knockin’ knockin on the door
Keep knockin’, knockin’ knockin on the door
Keep knockin’, knockin’ knockin on the door
Keep knockin’, knockin’ knockin on the door
Keep knockin’, knockin’ knockin on the door
Keep knockin’, knockin’ knockin on the door ((I think that sometimes we really just need to keep inviting people. Yesterday we had several lessons about missionary work and somebody, sometime said something to the effect of “Just because somebody has rejected your invitations in the past doesn’t mean that in 6 months, 1 year, 5 years from now something in their life won’t have changed. We just need to keep inviting. That is our job. We leave the rest up to the Lord and preparing the people to accept those invitations. If we try to do more than that we are following Satan’s plan. ))
