The Door
Al Denson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a time that's so unsure
I was longing for a refuge
A place my heart could be secure
But, every day would end just like the one before
Until someone took me by the hand
And led me to the door
For all who will come in
Though the path is sometimes hidden
With the darkness caused by sin
And though countless lives have found their way
There's still so many more
Now it's clear what I'm on this earth for
To stand here and help them find the door
For every heart that aches for comfort
For every child who longs for love
For lonely nights that last forever
For peaceful days not long enough
For everyone who wonders what they're living for
I got to be someone who cares enough
To lead them to the door
And the door is always open
For all who will come in
Though the path is sometimes hidden
With the darkness caused by sin
And though countless lives have found their way
There's still so many more
Now it's clear what I'm on this earth for
To stand here and help them
Lord, help me be the one today
To clearly point the way
Everything they're looking for
Is just inside the door
And the door is always open
For all who will come in
And the path is sometimes hidden
By the darkness caused by sin
And though countless lives have found their way
There's still so many more
Now it's clear what I'm on this earth for
To stand here and help them find the door
Come find the door

That is one of Al Densons forgotten songs. Yet it speaks a powerful message. We all should be mindful of that.

@John Hutton I never knew my earthly father.

It is always important to have a relationship with not only our earthly father but our heavenly father.

I know it's an older song but 15 years ago I became Director of a daily program for at-risk teens called "The Door". Hundreds of teens later...75,000 dinners later....hundreds of teens coming to Jesus over the years. This song continues to inspire my heart years later. Thank you!

This is the first song I ever sang in public. Would love to have the soundtrack again.
