Closed Doors

Verse 1

Tried that door — it wouldn’t move,

Felt like I had something to prove,

Knocked so hard my knuckles cried,

Wondered why it stayed locked tight.

But in the hush I heard Him say,

“Child, I’m just turning you another way,

What you call ‘no’ ain’t loss at all,

It’s love protecting you from a smaller call.”

Pre-Chorus

I can’t see it yet, but I believe,

Every closed door’s a gift to me.

Chorus

Closed doors ain’t rejection, no,

They’re God’s sweet redirection, oh!

He’s not keeping good from you,

He’s leading you to better truth.

Step by step, trust the flow,

Where He guides is where you go,

Closed doors ain’t rejection, see,

They’re love pointing the way for me.

Verse 2

Road got blocked, plans fell through,

Didn’t know what I was gonna do,

But every turn He gently made,

Led me to brighter, wider days.

I would’ve settled, stayed too small,

Missed the blessing past the wall,

Now I smile when things don’t fit,

‘Cause I know He’s not done with it.

Pre-Chorus

I may not like it instantly,

But His detours set me free.

Chorus

Closed doors ain’t rejection, no,

They’re God’s sweet redirection, oh!

He’s not keeping good from you,

He’s leading you to better truth.

Step by step, trust the flow,

Where He guides is where you go,

Closed doors ain’t rejection, see,

They’re love pointing the way for me.

Bridge

So I won’t pound on doors that close,

I’ll follow where His Spirit goes,

Every “no” just clears the view,

For something bigger breaking through.

Final Chorus

Closed doors ain’t rejection, no,

They’re divine redirection, oh!

He’s not holding back from me,

He’s opening what I can’t yet see.

With grateful heart I let it be,

Trusting where He’s leading me,

Closed doors ain’t rejection, friend,

They’re how the better roads begin.
