The Unanswered Knock

Lyrics

Verse 1:** *You traced the scars where the nails once tore,* *Through every thorn-mark, You loved me more.* *But I turned the lock, drew the curtains closed,* *Left You kneeling in the rain on a road You chose.* *Your tears fell like stars, but I called them shame,* *Hung my heart on a cross I refused to name.* **Chorus:** *Oh, how Your love sings—a melody ignored,* *A symphony of mercy through a slamming door.* *You breathe *"Beloved"* into the void of my *"no,"* *While the heavens ache with the love I won’t know.* *The Father’s hands etch my name in the storm,* *And the Spirit weeps for the life unborn.* **Verse 2:** *The Father carved mountains to cradle my sleep,* *Painted dawn’s first blush just to watch Me weep.* *But I traded His skies for a cage of dust,* *Called His whispers *"chains"* and His grace *"unjust."* *He counts every sparrow, yet I chose to fall,* *While His voice cracked the thunder, *"Child, I gave you all."* **Bridge:** *Three hearts entwined in a single cry—* *The Son on the doorstep, the Spirit’s sigh,* *The Father’s fists full of prodigal pearls,* *Begging the rebels to heal their own worlds.* *Love split the Godhead, a triune scar,* *Just to hold the ones who run so far.* **Verse 3:** *The Spirit comes gentle—a flame, a dove—* *Kindles the embers of neglected love.* *But I drowned Her fire in my pride’s cold sea,* *Shut the window where She whispered *"Come to Me."* *Now She groans in the void where my soul once stood,* *The breath of God choked on my *"not yet good."* **Outro:** *The door’s still open, the table’s set,* *The Trinity’s tears in the wine still wet.* *Three persons, one plea through the night’s dark blade:* *"The hands that made you won’t unmake you, child—* *Just come home."*
