Am7 Am7/G Am7 Am7/G
I had a vision of a man , At an open door to a House of Light
Am7 Am7/G Am7 G
Holding keys - not his own, Given to him, they could not be bought

Am7 Am7/G Am7 Am7/G
All who entered this lovely house Danced a dance in a glowing room
Am7 Am7/G Am7 G
They whirled about with praise and shouts As they steeped and stepped in the Father’s House

Chorus:
C2 D F G
Come in, come in, and enter in
C2 D F G
Taste the goodness that lives within
C2 D F G
Come in relax, come in at last
C2 D F Am7 (last time G - C2- D2 and fade)
For all your labors now have passed

Am7 Am7/G Am7 Am7/G
That man kept calling, crying out, To every soul that walked about
Am7 Am7/G Am7 G
Through the door they could see, There’s a party in the House of Light
(Chorus)

Am7 Am7/G Am7 Am7/G
I looked again at the man I saw, He looked familiar, I had seen him before
Am7 Am7/G Am7 G
His face was mine then I realized, I’m a doorkeeper in my Father’s House
(Chorus)

Vamp out:(Am,,,G)
I’d rather simply dwell in the House of Light, than partake of evil riches and revelry
I’d rather be the simplest servant at his endless feast, than to gorge up and fill up my own glory
I’d rather find the place in his endless reign, washed forever of any spot or stain
I’d rather leave the wickedness and the pride, for the joy and gladness that lives inside
