1)
I CAME TO JESUS LONG AGO ALL BURDENED DOWN WITH SIN
I SOUGHT HIM FOR HIS PARDON GRACE BUT HE WOULD NOT TAKE ME IN
AT LAST I FOUND THE REASON WHY AS I CAME MORE AND MORE
I HAD A SHELF WITH IDOLS ON JUST IN BEHIND THE DOOR
CHORUS
THAT SHELF BEHIND THE DOOR
DON'T USE IT ANYMORE
BUT QUICKLY CLEANED THAT CORNER OUT
FROM CEILING TO THE FLOOR
FOR JESUS WANTS HIS TEMPLE CLEAN
AND HE CANNOT BLESS YOU MORE
UNLESS YOU TAKE THOSE IDOLS OUT
FROM IN BEHIND THE DOOR
2)
THAT LITTLE SHELF BEHIND THE DOOR WILL CAUSE YOU MUCH DISTRESS
ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE TIME YOU THINK OF BEING BLESSED
OF PLEADING FOR THE VICTORY BEFORE THE LORD IN PRAYER
SO MANY TIMES YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR IDOLS HIDDEN THERE
3)
I TORE IT DOWN AND THREW IT OUT AND THEN THE BLESSINGS CAME
AND KNEW I GOT THE VICTORY AND FELT HIS HOLY FLAME
OLD BELZZEBUB CAME RUSHING UP AND SAID WITH AN AWFUL ROAR
YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THAT SHELF JUST IN BEHIND THE DOOR
