1 Jesus is calling, oh hear him today,

Calling for you; calling for you.
Hear him today; do not turn him away.
Jesus is calling for you.

calling for you, calling for you.
Tenderly, patiently with you he pleads;
Jesus is calling for you. [Refrain]

Open your heart, and his mercy implore;
Jesus is calling for you. [Refrain]
