D              A    E
People running all around this world
D         A      E 
Trying to make a dime
D      A           E
I just wish they'd open their eyes
D         A      E
Like I've opened mine
A                        D
Sitting here knocking on heaven's door
A                       E
Waiting for the Lord to come
A              D
I just want to be there Lord
D      A   E
To see the Son


   D           A    E
My grandfather is a great great man
         D         A      E
But he's getting a little old
D      A       E
I just need to love him more
       D   A     E
As the age takes hold

      A                  D
Cause one day soon he'll leave this world
  A                E
I pray it won't be long
A              D
I just want to be there Lord
         D    A   E
When you make him strong

Let me tell you about this boss of mine
D          A       E
Making our lives a hell
D           A    E
Sometimes I just have to laugh
   D    A  E
He does it well
    A                   D
But one day there'll be judgement day
A                       E
Looking the Lord in the face
A              D
I just want to be there Lord
        D      A   E
When he pleads his case

Can You Hear Him Knocking?

D
Sometimes when I'm feeling badly
C          G     D
Sure could use a friend
D
When I'm singing sadly
C      G        D
Know I can't pretend


       C           G
In the blink of an eye
G           D
He seems me there
C          G
Deep in my heart
G         D
He knew I cared
G                         D
Broken hearted I couldn't defend
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?


D
I woke up it as still last night
C             G       D
Time to cry myself to sleep
D
I read the Word it just was right
C             G      D
Treasure I'll always keep



       C           G
In the blink of an eye
G           D
He seems me there
C          G
Deep in my heart
G         D
He knew I cared
G                         D
Broken hearted I couldn't defend
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?


D
Now when I'm feeling lonely
C              G         D
Get down on my knees and pray
D
To the one and only
C        G     D
Savior I got today



       C           G
In the blink of an eye
G           D
He seems me there
C          G
Deep in my heart
G         D
He knew I cared
G                         D
Broken hearted I couldn't defend
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?
