Upon the cruel tree of Calvary

Was there my precious Savior cried

Forgive them for they know not what they do

Oh sinner friend for you He died



🎸 Chorus:
  F             C
His hands are gently knocking on your door
               G7
Outside He's pleading to come in
  C            F
His heart is breaking as He waits for you
  C    G7       C
To wash you free from every sin

🎸 Verse :
                 F
Those cold thorns they pierced my Savior's head
  C             G7
The blood was flowing down His face

In shame forsaken there He hung and died
  C   G7         C
Oh sinner friend He took your place


🎸 Chorus:
  F             C
His hands are gently knocking on your door

His heart is breaking as He waits for you

To wash you free from every sin


              F
Someday He's coming back to claim His own
   C          G7
We'll fly to Heaven's open door

The crown of life He gives on that great day
   C     G7      C
With Him we'll live forever more
