129. Someone is knocking

Someone is knocking -
Perhaps God.
God can wait;
After all, He deals with Eternity.

Someone is knocking -
Perhaps man.
I am sure he can't wait,
Since he has only
A fleeting second
At his disposal.
Therefore,
Let me go and open the door.

Someone is knocking -
Perhaps Satan.
Ah, he just breaks open the door.

God, You are kind to me.
Man, I am kind to you.
Satan, you are really something,
You are really impossible!
