I wrote this song back in the mid 80’s. I can remember it like yesterday. My ex girlfriend Karol broke up with me for the second time. She broke up the first time, and it really did not bother me much. So we got together and this time, she made sure that it would hurt. It was bad. I could not sleep, and the pain was as bad as any physical pain that I had experienced.

I started going to Hilltop Baptist Church. Not sure why, just searching. Because of this, I started reading the Bible. I had an old Bible that I had received from some weird zealot while at Cornell close to 10 years earlier. There were many sleepless nights, and I just read the Bible. One night while reading the Bible, the pain disappeared! And then, I slept the night through. It was amazing. I felt like I had been washed.

Then this song popped in my head. I can’t explain how it happened, it just did. I’ve also asked my friend Tom to rerecord it for a more professional sound.

Hope you like it.

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?
