Representative Text

1 Some one has strayed from the fold away
Can it be you?
Can it be You?
Some one has erred from the narrow way,
Can it be you?
Can it be you?

Refrain:
Come back while Jesus is calling,
His pow’r can keep you from falling;
Some one has strayed from the fold away,
Can it be you?
Can it be you?

2 Some one is treading the paths of sin,
Can it be you?
Can it be you?
Some one is living the self life within,
Can it be you?
Can it be you? [Refrain]

3 Come one is grieving the Lord above,
Can it be you?
Can it be you?
Some one refuses His wondrous love,
Can it be you?
Can it be you? [Refrain]
