the door

© 2008, Ryan Dale


 

A shadow breaks the moonlit silence
searching, trying to find the way
But all he can find is emptiness
longing for light to choke the darkness

Gazing in, through the window
feeling the warmth within
Trying to find an entrance
Crawling underneath, climbing to the top

Sneaking around the side
Feeling for a door
searching for a crack
he can feel the light

Reaching, searching, longing for a home
Reach out, touch Him, He is the door

Step by step he climbs higher
moving on to a better place
He finds that he's all alone now
though he stands on the top of the world

Looking for a reason
searching for the answers
Asking all the questions
Why am I here? Where am I going?

Is anyone out there?
Will I ever have peace?
Is there any hope for the future?
Is there any more than this?

Reaching, searching, longing for a home
Reach out, touch Him, He is the door
His arms are open wide to welcome you inside

I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life
No one comes to the Father apart from Me


He’s reaching, calling, waiting for you
Reach out, touch Him, He’ll never let you go

No one shall be saved by any name other than Jesus Christ -- He is the Door.  There are many roads that lead to destruction, but only one way to God.  We are only deceiving ourselves if we think we can go our own way and expect God to accept us.  If we reject the Son of God, He will reject us . . . but if we humble ourselves and go through Him we will find life in abundance.
