Lyrics

Well, you don't knock
 (You don't knock, just walk on in)
 The door (the door in heaven's den)
 There's love (there's love and joy for you)
 To share (to share the whole day through)
 I know (I know my friends are there)
 To rest (to rest in heaven's nest)
 You don't knock, ring, push a hole
 The door's wide open, a-waitin' for your soul
 You don't knock, you just walk on in
 Well, I’ve walked life's winding road (Oh, yeah!)
 And it’s a joy to shed this load (oh, yeah!)
 Well, I traveled both night and day (Oh, yeah!)
 So tired I could hardly pray (Yeah!)
 Jesus, my light and my guide (Oh, yeah!)
 He's ever by my side (Oh, yeah!)
 But, I'm walkin', not a-knockin', into heaven with pride
 Well, you don't knock
 (You don't knock, you just walk on in)
 ‘Cause the door (the door to heaven's den)
 And there's love (there's love and joy for you)
 To share (to share the whole day through)
 I know (I know my friends are there)
 To rest (to rest in heaven's nest)
 You don't knock, ring, push a hole
 The door's wide open, waitin' for your soul
 You don't knock, you just walk on in
 Well, I’ll have no need to fear
 For he is ever near
 He knows if my work was true
 So glad the day is through
 Well, it wasn't for me to say (Oh, yeah!)
 I didn't think I'd make my way (Oh, yeah!)
 But, I'm walkin', not a-knockin', into heaven with pride
 Well, you don't knock (You don't knock, you just walk on in)
 ‘Cause, the door (the door to heaven's den)
 There's love (there's love and joy for you)
 To share (to share the whole day through)
 I know (I know my friends are there)
 To rest (to rest in heaven's nest)
 You don't knock, ring, push a hole
 The door's wide open, a-waitin' for your soul
 You don't knock, honey, you just walk on in
 Well, I’ll have no need to fear (Oh, yeah!)
 For he is ever near (Oh, yeah!)
 And he knows if my work was true (Oh, yeah!)
 So glad the day is through
 Well, it wasn't for me to say (Oh, yeah!)
 I didn't think I'd make my way (Oh, yeah!)
 But now, I'm walkin', not a-knockin', into heaven with pride
 Well, you don't knock (You don't knock, you just walk on in)
 ‘Cause, the door (the door to heaven's den)
 There's love (there's love and joy for you)
 To share (to share the whole day through)
 I know (I know my friends are there)
 To rest (to rest in heaven's nest)
 You don't knock, ring, push a hole
 The door's wide open, a-waitin' for your soul
 You don't knock, you just walk on in
