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.
