The mistakes of my life have been many,
The sins of my heart have been more,
And I scarce can see for weeping,
But I�ll knock at the open door.
I know I am weak and sinful,
It comes to me more and more;
But when the dear Savior
shall bid me come in,
I�ll enter the open door.
I am lowest of those who love Him,
I am weakest of those who pray;
But I come as He has bidden,
And He will not say me nay.
I know I am weak and sinful,
It comes to me more and more;
But when the dear Savior
shall bid me come in,
I�ll enter the open door.
My mistakes His free grace will cover,
My sins He will wash away,
And the feet that can shrink and falter
Shall walk thro� the gates of day.
I know I am weak and sinful,
It comes to me more and more;
But when the dear Savior
shall bid me come in,
I�ll enter the open door.
The mistakes of my life have been many,
And my spirit is sick with sin,
And I scarce can see for weeping,
But the Savior will let me in.
I know I am weak and sinful,
It comes to me more and more;
But when the dear Savior
shall bid me come in,
I�ll enter the open door.
