Calvary's Praises ‎#143

143. You Are Out of Touch with Jesus

1 Does the day bring but little of gladness?
Is the path seldom smooth or fair?
Are you weary of life with its sadness?
Have you never a song to spare?

Refrain:
You are out of touch with Jesus—
You are throwing your life away,
Christ alone makes life worth living,
Get in touch with Him today.

2 Does success seem to constantly shun you,
Have you always a longing pain?
When the hand of despair is upon you
Do you sigh for a friend in vain? [Refrain]

3 From your home and from God you have wandered;
You are going the downward way;
Precious talents you have squandered
You are risking your soul each day. [Refrain]

4 O come home! Christ is ready to meet you,
Turn from evil’s alluring charms;
With a sweet tender smile He will greet you,
And enfold you with loving arms. [Refrain]
