You Must Come In At The Door

(album: On Praying Ground - 1990)

Oh, the Baptists go by water and the Methodists go by land
But I'll tell you, my friends, if you wanna get to heaven, well, you gotta go hand in hand
As Jesus taught the people by the sea of Galilee
He said, "I'm the door that leads to Heaven and you must come in by me"

And it's so low, you can't get under it
So high, you can't climb over it
So wide, you'll never get around it
You must come in at the door

You may talk about me, my brother, just as much as ever you please
If I talk about you, it'll be to the Lord when I get down on my knees
Old Satan, he's a liar and he wears a hypocrite's shoes
And if you don't watch your step today, he'll slip it right on you

The door's so low, you can't get under it
So high, you can't climb over it
So wide, you'll never get around it
You must come in at the door

Don't let old Satan fool you, or brother, you'll find out
When the day of judgement comes around, your sins are gonna lock you out
He can talk just like an angel, but don't you believe a word
As a matter of fact, he'll steal your soul if you don't put your trust in the Lord

The door's so low that you can't get under it
So high, you can't climb over it
So wide, you'll never get around it
You must come in at the door
