While we pray, and while we plead,
While you see your soul’s deep need,
While your Father calls you home,
Will you not, my good friend, come?
Refrain:
Why not now? Why not now?
Why not come to Jesus now?
Why not now? Why not now?
Why not come to Jesus now?
You have wandered far away;
Do not risk another day;
Do not turn from God your face,
But, today, accept His grace.
In the world you’ve failed to find
Any peace for troubled mind;
Come to Christ; on Him believe;
Peace and joy you will receive.
Come to Christ, confession make;
Come to Christ and pardon take;
Trust in Him from day to day;
He will keep you all the way.
