Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Somebody’s knocking at your door,
Somebody’s knocking at your door,
Oh sinner, why don’t you answer?
Somebody’s knocking at your door.
Knocks like Jesus,
Somebody’s knocking at your door.
Knocks like Jesus,
Somebody’s knocking at your door.
Oh sinner, why don’t you answer?
Somebody’s knocking at your door.
