about

This was the single that initially promoted the album at radio.

It's another 12-string Rickenbacker and 40-piece orchestra combo track

Al Perkins adds a little volume pedal guitar for flavor

The lyric "let the devil go to hell" caused great controversy back in 1968 when this song was first released as a radio single. However it did make it into the top 20 (#14 position), in spite of all the horrified reactions at the time.

Eight years later Stryper released "To Hell With The Devil" and everybody loved them for it. Oh well, the times they are a-changing.

lyrics

Standing At the Door

The Lord is standing at the door
He only wants to give us more
He only wants to keep us right, alright

The Lord is always ready to receive us
And when he does he’ll never leave us
And all we’ve got to do is pray, okay

I see the light coming to meet us, believers
Night after night let nothing deceive us, believers, oh oh

The Lord is standing at the door
He said he’d love to tell you more
He has to leave you free to choose, so don’t lose

And so the Holy Spirit will retrieve us
I do believe he wants to lead us
And let the devil go to hell, oh well

I see the light coming to meet us, believers
Night after night let nothing deceive us, believers, oh oh
