I wrote this a year ago, I wanted to be a missionary. I even posted this on YouTube. I sang it at a Methodist church.
I think what turned me off about God, besides not liking the bible is watching the Catholics in my family. They live a life that you would not recognize a a Christians, I tell them that they are in the wrong church, I point out things to them. The same stuff we been discussing here that nobody can agree on. And, that why I so much time on this thread. And, I think, if they believe in that then I might as be an Atheist. What's the difference?
There must be no God if these people are that messed up. And, you protestant Christians know what I am talking about. I am really giving up.
When I played this song for the first time the arrangement just came to me like from deep inside of me and I felt like it was inspired. And, I posted my practice session because I probably could not duplicate it the same.
Open The Door a poem by JoelGa poem by JoelG:
Lord, I am trying to make sense of it all.
I'm just about ready to crawl,
Don't want to be here for the fall.
And, I don't know who I can call.
Lord, what has happen to all of your people?
They don't come and don't fill up your steeples.
They don't seem to care.
And, it happening everywhere.
Do they not understand what you have said,
that their soul will be judged, as soon as they're dead.
By the one who is just, who died for our sins,
Who was sent to this earth and was not welcomed in.
Oh Lord, give me the strength to warm my brothers,
Who have left you for the love of another,
The wicked one who has them mesmerized,
who's leading them to a false paradise,
And, they don't even realize,
He's got control of their lives.
Help me Oh Lord, your power is great,
Shine the light on the road I must take.
I need your guidance, for you know I am weak.
It's you love, that I yearn and I seek.
I heard you knock, and I open the door.
Now, I don't fear the beast anymore.
With you by my side, now I feel safe.
I love you and am yours to save.
Lord, please help me to understand these things more.
Now, help me to show others how to open that door.
The one that you are knocking on and yearn to come in.
The one if we open will drive us from sin.
I heard you knocking, I open the door.
Now, I don't fear the beast anymore.
With you by my side, I feel so safe inside.
You drove me away from my sins,
And forgave me for all my sins.
Let Jesus in.
He's waiting for you.
Open the Door.
Open the Door.
