[D][G]
[D]You don't knock.

[Verse 1]
[G]
(You don't knock,

There's [G]love (there's love
and joy for you)
To [C]share [G](to[D] share the
whole day through)
[G]I know (I know my friends are there)
To [C]rest (to rest in the heaven's nest)
You don't [G]knock, ring, punch a hole.

You don't knock,
[G]you jus[C]t walk on in.
[G]

[Verse 2]
I've walked life's winding road [Gm](O h[C],
yeah!)
Tryin' to bear this load
(Oh, yeah!)
[Gm]Traveled both night [G]and [Gm]day.
[G](Oh[Gm], yeah!)
[G]So tired [D]I could hardly pray
[Gm](Oh, yeah!)
[G]Jesus, my light and my guide,
(Oh, yeah!)
[C]He's ever by my side. (Oh, yeah!)
So, I'm [G]walkin',
not a-knockin', into into [D]heaven with pride.
[G]

[Verse 3]
You don't knock.
(You don't knock,
you just walk on in.)
[C]The door (the door to
heaven's den.)
There's [G]love (there's love
and joy for you)
[D]To share (to share the
whole day through)
[G]I know my [D]friends [G]are there
(I know my [C]friends are there)
To rest (to rest in the
heaven's nest)
You don't [G]knock, ring, push a hole.
[C]The door's wide open
a-waitin' for for your soul.
You don't [G]knock, [C]you just walk on in.
[Em][G]

[Verse 4]
I'll have no need
to fear. (Oh, yeah!)
[C]He is ever near. (Oh, yeah!)
He'll [Gm]know [G]my work was
true. (Oh, yeah!)
[D]So glad the day is through. (Yeah!)
It was[G]n't for me to say. (Oh, yeah!)
I did[C]n't think I'd make my
way. (Oh, yeah!)
So, I'm [G]walkin',
not a-knockin', into into [D]heaven, good[G]bye.

(You don't knock,
you just walk [C]on in.)

and joy [C]for you)
To [G]share [D](to share the
whole day through)

(I know my friend[C]s are there)
To rest (to rest in the
heaven's nest)
