Author: D. O. T. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #387 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.8 First Line: Why not now? O sinner, listen Refrain First Line: Oh, why not now? Oh, why not now? Lyrics: 1 Why not now? O sinner, listen
To that pleading voice within,
Saying, “Jesus came to save you
From the awful curse of sin.”
Refrain:
Oh, why not now? Oh, why not now?
All heaven waits while you delay;
Oh, why not now? Oh, why not now?
Risk not your soul for one more day.
2 Why not now? Your days are passing
Swiftly to eternity;
All your strength is unavailing
Your poor heart from sin to free. [Refrain]
3 Why not now? The future holdeth
Not one promise for your soul;
Come, accept God’s proffered mercy
Ere you die in sin’s control. [Refrain]
4 Why not now? Your death is nearing,
Soon your final day will come,
And your choice this very moment
May result in awful doom. [Refrain]
5 Why not now? Oh, do not linger,
Reason bids you make the choice;
Saints and angels bid you welcome,
Harken to that inner voice. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2 Tune Title: [Why not now? O sinner, listen]
