The Gospel Awakening ‎#31

31. Already Condemned

1. God so loved the world, that in mercy He gave
His son as a ransom, lost sinners to save;
O thou who hast never believed on His name,
Remember the truth that the Scriptures proclaim:

Chorus:
Condemned! Condemned! already condemned!
On Jesus, the Saviour, thou hast not believed;
Condemn'd! condemn'd! already condemn'd!
The life that He offers thou hast not received.

2. Already condemned in the sight of the Lord,
Because thou art turning away from His word;
Thou choosest the evil, rejectest the right;
Thou lovest the darkness far better than light. [Chorus]

3. Already condemned; unbeliever thou art;
O think what a sentence hangs over thy heart;
Yet why wilt thou perish when thou canst be free?
If thou wilt accept it there's pardon for thee. [Chorus]

4. Already condemned; wilt thou turn from thy sin?
Then yield to the Spirit now pleading within;
Thro' faith and repentance give Jesus thy heart;
Delay not a moment, but come as thou art. [Chorus]
