O Weary Soul (Male Quartet: Just Outside the Door)
by B. D. Ackley

O weary soul, the gate is near
In sin why still abide?
Both peace and rest are waiting here
And you are just outside
Just outside the door
Just outside the door
Behold it stands ajar!
Just outside the door
Just outside the door
So near and yet so far!
Forgiveness Jesus will impart
To save you soul He died
How can you still offend His heart
By staying just outside?
The day of life is passing by
Soon night your soul will hide
And then "too late" will be your cry
If you are just outside
Come in, be free from chains of sin
Be glad, be satisfied
Before the tempest breaks, come in
And leave your past outside
