148. Why Not Now?

1 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 brother, come?

Chorus:
Why not now? why not now?
Why not come to Jesus now?
Why not now? Why not now?
Why not come to Jesus now?

2 You have wandered far away;
Do not risk another day;
Do not turn from God your face,
But, today, accept His grace. [Chorus]

3 In the world you've failed to find
Aught of peace for troubled mind;
Come to Christ, on Him believe,
Peace and joy you shall receive. [Chorus]

4 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. [Chorus]
