Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone's knocking at the door
Can you hear Him knocking
Can you hear Him knocking
He's been knocking very long
He's been knocking for so long
Can you hear Him knocking
Can you hear Him knocking
Jesus Jesus Jesus, is at the door Someone's calling out your name
Calling time and time again
Can you hear Him calling
Can you hear Him calling
He's been calling very long
He's been calling for so long
Can you hear Him calling
He's been calling you
It's Jesus Jesus Jesus, is at the door Don't let him walk away
He's so patient but, don't take a chance
All you need to do is open the door
Let Him take his rightful place
So He can change your world
Open up the door...
The lyrics of Nathaniel Bassey's song "Someone's at the Door" speak of a persistent knock at the door, which is revealed to be Jesus. The repetition of "Can you hear Him knocking?" is a call to believers to pay attention to the gentle but continuous presence of the Lord who is ready to come in and change their situation. The use of the phrase "very long" emphasizes the prolonged attempts of Jesus to intervene in one's life, and the urgency in the repetition of "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" brings to mind the power and transformative nature of Christ's presence.
The song goes on to describe how Jesus is not just knocking, but also calling out the name of the person on the other side of the door. The repetition of "Can you hear Him calling?" speaks to the possibility of being deaf to God's voice, and the reminder that He has been calling for a long time echoes the message of Divine mercy and forgiveness that is always available. The chorus then urges the listener to not let Jesus walk away, and to open the door so that He can take His rightful place and bring about change in their lives.
The song's message is a reminder of the constant presence of Christ, and the need to be attentive to His gentle voice and persistent knocking. It also speaks to the transformative power of God's love and mercy, and the need to open up one's heart and let Jesus take control.
