Shut the Door and Listen

Shut the Door and Listen


There is a sweet voice
Talking all inside of you
Be quiet, are you listening?
I hear the sound of His voice
Whispering love to you
Hush! Are you listening?

Hey, forget the sound
Of the exterior world
Just stay inside
And shut the door…

Listen, He is saying that He loves you
Listen, He is saying, “don’t let them define you.”
Listen, He is saying, He is the one who created you.
Just be quiet...

Listen, He is saying that He is the only One
Listen, He is saying “padlock the entrance door.”
Well listen, what are you waiting for?

See In that secret place upstairs,
He wants you free inside His love
There, you’ll be as free as a flying dove
He knows you more than the world
He knows why He wants to lead you there
So listen, He is smiling
Because He sees himself inside of you

Now, shut the door!
He is saying, He hears your cries
Shut the door,
He is saying, He wants you blessed
Shut the door
Let Him increase your smile

Just shut the door
On the devil's face
If not,
Do not say
That He did not
Do His part
