When you asked The Lord to stay
You left Him in the hall
And got on with your busy life
Not bothering Him at all
Then suddenly you opened up
A door and let Him in
You let a stronghold of your life
Be cleansed of fear and sin.
But still you kept things to yourself
Afraid to let them go
And even though they ruled your life
Against the tide you'd row
Finally , you had enough
And let The light come in
Another stronghold of your life
Was cleansed of fear and sin.
After year's of yielding self
Your doors were opened wide
You were the one who people saw
With nothing left to hide
If only you had trusted Him
And left the door's ajar
All the strongholds of your life
Would not have got this far.
