Chorus:
Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall open.
Ask and it shall be given and the love come a-trickling down.
My mother, the Lord has been here.
(Repeat twice) and the love come a-trickling down.
(Chorus)
My sister, the Lord has told me.
(Repeat twice) and the love come a-trickling down.
(Chorus)
My brother, the Lord has showed me.
(Repeat twice) and the love come a-trickling down.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I said seek (Seek and ye shall find.
) Then you knock (Knock and the door shall open.)
And you ask (Ask and it shall be given) and the love come a-trickling down.
Yeah, I said love (Love come a-trickling down.
) I said love (Love come a trickling down) (Fade out)
