Bob Bennett You're Welcome Here song lyrics

YOU'RE WELCOME HERE

W/M: Bob Bennett

© 1979 Maranatha! Music (ASCAP)

Lord, I hear you knocking

You been knocking at the door

How long have you been waiting

Seems I never really heard you before

I've kind of let the place go

I'm ashamed at what you'll find

But you can make yourself at home

If you're sure that you don't mind

Cause when I cry, the roof leaks

And when the wind blows, the walls are weak

But a house is known by the company it keeps

And I feel better now that you're near

And I want to make it clear

Jesus, from now on

You're always welcome here

There are dark rooms deep inside me

Where your light has never shown

And I tried to hide inside them

But I guess you've always known

That one day you would call me

And I'd awaken from my sleep

And you'd take me just the way I am

And you promise me you'd keep me.
