Representative Text

1 Come with thy load of sin,
Christ died thy soul to win;
Now He will take thee in,
Jesus is calling for thee.

Refrain:
Calling, calling for thee,
Calling, calling for thee,
Calling, calling for thee,
Jesus is calling, calling for thee.

2 Come take His pardon free,
He shed His blood for thee,
Then you will happy be.
Jesus is calling for thee. [Refrain]

3 Come now while He is near,
He’s able, have no fear,
Come while His voice you hear,
Jesus is calling for thee. [Refrain]

4 Come Jesus seeks the lost;
On Calv’ry paid the cost,
He saves the tempest tossed,
Jesus is calling for thee. [Refrain]

5 Come with a courage strong,
Decide to leave the wrong,
Hear His voice in the song,
Jesus is calling for thee. [Refrain]

6 Come now, why do you wait?
This hour may seal your fate,
Some day may be too late,
Jesus is calling for thee. [Refrain]
