Victory Songs ‎#216

216. Jesus is Waiting to Save.

1 Jesus has promised to save you from sin
If you will truly believe Him;
Open your heart and His love will come in;
Now is the time to receive Him.

Chorus:
Come, come, Jesus is waiting,
O why will you longer reject Him?
Come, come, Jesus is waiting,
O now is the time to accept Him.

2 Come while the day of salvation is here,
Why will you wait for tomorrow?
Death may o'ertake you or Jesus appear;
Flee from your sin and your sorrow. [Chorus]

3 Come in your weakness; His strength will prevail,
Jesus now waits to befriend you;
He is a Helper that never will fail,
Trust in the Lord to defend you. [Chorus]

4 Sin has brought nothing but sorrow to you,
Leave, then, your wretched condition;
Jesus has promised your joy to renew,
Seek Him in lowly contrition. [Chorus]

5 Satan will tempt you and try to deceive,
Come, come away to the Savior;
Kneel at His feet crying, "Lord, I believe;"
You will find pardon and favor. [Chorus]
