Larnelle Harris Rhoda
Peter was thrown in prison
Made a scapegoat for Herod's wrath
So a girl named Rhoda met with the saints
To intercede on this behalf
Hearing their prayers God answered
Like time and time again
And while still in prayer
Rhoda heard peter call
But ran to announce him without letting him in
And all of heaven said
Rhoda open the door
Don't turn and walk away
Here is the one you've been praying for
And God answers when you pray
Oh don't waste the time
Just open the door and find
That your answer to prayer is there
Rhoda open the door
Rhoda was so excited
And she shared it through many words
Though her testimony wasn't believed
She was convinced of what she'd heard
Peter kept right on knocking
With worry on His face
Finally Rhoda opened the door
And all of her doubters just stood there amazed
All of heaven said
Rhoda open the door
Don't turn and walk away
Here is the one you've been praying for
And God answers when you pray
Oh don't waste the time
Just open the door and find
That your answer to prayer is there
Rhoda open the door
Are you an effectual fervent prayer
Casting your mountains to the sea
Or do you pray like these friends of peter
Not taking God seriously
Heaven said
Rhoda open the door
Don't turn and walk away
Here is the one you've been praying for
And God answers when you pray
Oh don't waste the time
Just open the door and find
That your answer to prayer is there
Rhoda open the door
Well now, Rhoda open the door
Don't turn and walk away
Here is the one you've been praying for
And God answers when you pray
Oh don't waste the time
Just open the door and find
That your answer to prayer is there
Rhoda open the door
