One Eve My Lord’s Voice

One eve my Lord’s voice came knocking at my gate. Saying, “Open up quickly let's share a meal, don't wait.”

But sleep had embraced me and I chose to delay But sleep had embraced me and I chose to delay

Regret filled my heart as His voice faded away Regret filled my heart as His voice faded away

One eve, my Lord’s voice came knocking at my gate. Saying, “Open up quickly let's share a meal, don't wait.”

How could I turn away when He called my name? How could I turn away when He called my name?

Why did I let distraction put His love to shame? Why did I let distraction put His love to shame?

One eve, my Lord’s voice came knocking at my gate. Saying, “Open up quickly let's share a meal, don't wait.”

I wept through the night seeking forgiveness and grace, I wept through the night seeking forgiveness and grace,

Yearning for a change a new path to embrace Yearning for a change a new path to embrace

One eve, my Lord’s voice came knocking at my gate. Saying, “Open up quickly let's share a meal, don't wait.”

With tears as my guide I cleansed my heart’s core With tears as my guide I cleansed my heart’s core

Seeking His light, His presence to be restored Seeking His light, His presence to be restored

One eve, my Lord’s voice came knocking at my gate. Saying, “Open up quickly let's share a meal, don't wait.”

I opened the door ready to welcome His might, (Knowing He’ll never forsake in His love I find delight.) x2

One eve, my Lord’s voice came knocking at my gate. Saying, “Open up quickly let's share a meal, don't wait.”
