43. Can You Turn from the Friend Who Loves You

1 Can you turn from a friend who loves you,
Who died upon Calvary;
Can you spurn Him who gave all He had for you,
To redeem and to set you free.

Refrain:
O turn not away from Jesus today,
Lest from you He should depart,
Just think what He gave you,
Just now let Him save you and give unto Him your heart.

2 Can you grieve one whose heart is yearning,
To bless you and make you whole;
Can you turn from your heart one who loves you so
He is longing to save your soul. [Refrain]

3 Many years He has gently called you,
O turn from your life of sin;
Open wide your heart’s door, let Him enter now,
And a new life in Him begin. [Refrain]
