Today I knock on Your door, Lord
My hands tremble
My heart is restless
Please knock upon my heart again
Call my true name in my drifting.
Clothe me in Your robe of mercy
The robe of salvation
Fragrant with forgiveness
I am poor
with empty hands
Yet still sheltered in the shadow
of the cross.
Knock on me, Lord
O my God
In my joy
In my wandering
Let me always come seeking You
hide my face within Your heart.
Knock on me, Lord
O my God
Lead me through all confusion
So that my life
Every moment
Becomes an offering burning for You.
O King of Heaven
Please enlighten my mind
Uncover the darkness hidden within
The small, holy desires
Quietly burning in the depths.
I thank You, with deepest gratitude,
For this fertile soil of my soul
So rich for the seed of faith
To grow into trust offered to You.
Teach me to keep knocking
When I laugh, when my heart is breaking
In the deep night
At the break of dawn
Still whispering, “Here I am, Lord.”
Teach me to sow each small seed
In the field You have entrusted to me,
so that one day the Tree of Surrender grows
becoming a full offering given to You!
Hieu’s Song
“Lord, at your door I knock” – lyrics © 2026 by Hieu Pham Dang
Thank you for listening!
Today I knock on Your door, Lord
My hands tremble
My heart is restless
Please knock upon my heart again
Call my true name in my drifting.
Clothe me in Your robe of mercy
The robe of salvation
Fragrant with forgiveness
I am poor
with empty hands
Yet still sheltered in the shadow
of the cross.
Knock on me, Lord
O my God
In my joy
In my wandering
Let me always come seeking You
hide my face within Your heart.
Knock on me, Lord
O my God
Lead me through all confusion
So that my life
Every moment
Becomes an offering burning for You.
O King of Heaven
Please enlighten my mind
Uncover the darkness hidden within
The small, holy desires
Quietly burning in the depths.
I thank You, with deepest gratitude,
For this fertile soil of my soul
So rich for the seed of faith
To grow into trust offered to You.
Teach me to keep knocking
When I laugh, when my heart is breaking
In the deep night
At the break of dawn
Still whispering, “Here I am, Lord.”
Teach me to sow each small seed
In the field You have entrusted to me,
so that one day the Tree of Surrender grows
becoming a full offering given to You!
