Why not? why not? Why not come to Him now? 2 What do you hope, dear brother, To gain by a further delay? There's no one to save you but Jesus, There's no other way but His way. [Chorus] 3 Do you not feel, dear brother, His Spirit now striving within? O why not accept His salvation, And throw off thy burden of sin. [Chorus] 4 Why do you wait, dear brother?
