A gentle knock on the heart
**Title:** The Gentle Knock **Style:** Acoustic Folk/Soul **Tempo:** Moderate, reflective **(Verse 1)** No chains can bind the spiritโs flight No force can make the dark turn light Love isnโt something you can steal Itโs only real when itโs free to feel From the first page to the last Weโre given space, weโre given past A gift entrusted to our hands To walk across these shifting sands **(Chorus)** Allah, doesnโt break the door down He just waits for us to turn around A gentle knock upon the heart Waiting for us to do our part Not slaves bound by fear or rule But lovers answering the call The freedomโs real, the grace is true Heโs been drawing us closer, me and You **(Verse 2)** "I was a Hidden Treasure," He said "Desiring to be known," instead Of commanding souls to bow and sing He waits for what the heart will bring Prophets came and signs were shown In seeds that grew and stars unknown The invitationโs clear and bright But never forced into the night **(Chorus)** Allah doesnโt break the door down He just waits for us to turn around A gentle knock upon the heart Waiting for us to do our part Not slaves bound by fear or rule But lovers answering the call The freedomโs real, the grace is true Heโs been drawing us closer, me and You **(Bridge)** Even the longing in my chest Is part of His divine bequest When I seek Him with all my might I find Heโs been there all the time Every prayer, every tear Every moment wonder appears Itโs not my strength that leads the way But His grace embracing me all the way **(Oud/Instrumental Solo - Soft and Melodic)** **(Verse 3)** He doesnโt need my worshipโs sound He loves my presence, lost and found Not empty words or outward show But love that only free hearts know A mirror cleaned, a soul awake For truth and mercyโs sake The Hidden Treasure starts to shine When I choose to make Him mine **(Outro)** Just a gentle knock... Will you open up? The door is yours... The love is pure... Free to seek... Free to find... Leaving coercion far behind. (Fade out)
