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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Then this song popped in my head.  I can&#8217;t explain how it happened, it just did.  I&#8217;ve also asked my friend Tom to rerecord it for a more professional sound.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you like it.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-101-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/songs\/knocking.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/songs\/knocking.mp3\">https:\/\/chengrob.com\/songs\/knocking.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<pre>D\nSometimes when I'm feeling badly\nC          G     D\nSure could use a friend\nD\nWhen I'm singing sadly\nC      G        D\nKnow I can't pretend\n\n\n       C           G\nIn the blink of an eye\nG           D\nHe seems me there\nC          G\nDeep in my heart\nG         D\nHe knew I cared\nG                         D\nBroken hearted I couldn't defend\nC                G         D\nCan you hear Him knocking again?\nC                G         D\nCan you hear Him knocking again?\n\n\nD\nI woke up it as still last night\nC             G       D\nTime to cry myself to sleep\nD\nI read the Word it just was right\nC             G      D\nTreasure I'll always keep\n\n\n\n       C           G\nIn the blink of an eye\nG           D\nHe seems me there\nC          G\nDeep in my heart\nG         D\nHe knew I cared\nG                         D\nBroken hearted I couldn't defend\nC                G         D\nCan you hear Him knocking again?\nC                G         D\nCan you hear Him knocking again?\n\n\nD\nNow when I'm feeling lonely\nC              G         D\nGet down on my knees and pray\nD\nTo the one and only\nC        G     D\nSavior I got today\n\n\n\n       C           G\nIn the blink of an eye\nG           D\nHe seems me there\nC          G\nDeep in my heart\nG         D\nHe knew I cared\nG                         D\nBroken hearted I couldn't defend\nC                G         D\nCan you hear Him knocking again?\nC                G         D\nCan you hear Him knocking again?\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote this song back in the mid 80&#8217;s.
