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.
