39. Jesus is Waiting to Save

1 Why do you linger in darkness so long?
Jesus is waiting to save;
Have you not friends in the heavenly throng?
Jesus is waiting to save;

Refrain:
Come to him now, come to him now,
Jesus is waiting to save;
Come to him now, come to him now,
Jesus is waiting to save.

2 Leave the broad road and the narrow way choose,
Jesus is waiting to save;
Angels are longing to tell the glad news,
Jesus is waiting to save; [Refrain]

3 Time will not linger. how soon we just go!
Jesus is waiting to save;
Why turn away, and to Jesus say, No?
Jesus is waiting to save; [Refrain]

4 Jesus is calling, Oh, come unto me!
Jesus is waiting to save;
Pardon is purchased, salvation is free,
Jesus is waiting to save; [Refrain]

5 While we are praying, oh, stay not away,
Jesus is waiting to save;
Come to him now, not a moment delay,
Jesus is waiting to save; [Refrain]
