Open the Doors to God’s Love

Open the Doors to God’s Love

by Jay C. Treat

Opening Chorus:

Open the doors to God’s love.
Open the doors to God’s love.
Open the doors, yes, open the doors.
Open the doors to God’s love!

Verse 1

There’s a gentle knock at the door.
Someone wants to come in!
You can hear it again, that knock on the door.
Hey, Jesus wants to come in!

Chorus:

Open the doors to God’s love.
Open the doors to God’s love.
When we meet together in Jesus’ name,
We open the doors to God’s love.

Verse 2

When we break the bread, we open the door.
Let the hungry come in!
When we pass the cup, we open the door.
Let the thirsty come in!

Chorus:

Open the doors to God’s love.
Open the doors to God’s love.
When we eat together in Jesus’ name,
We open the doors to God’s love.

Verse 3

Let us take this love we have shared
with us into the street.
Let’s take it to the office and the marketplace,
take it to the people we meet.

Chorus:

Open the doors to God’s love.
Open the doors to God’s love.
When we work together in Jesus’ name,
We open the doors to God’s love.

This song was inspired by a sentence (and the encompassing theology) in Vic Hunter and Phil Johnson's book, The Human Church in the Presence of Christ.

When Jesus is in the house, all the doors to the love of God are left open.
