"Almost thou persuadest me." Acts 26:28.
"Thou art not far from the kingdom." Mark 12:24.
"Behold, now is the accepted time." 2 Cor. 6:2.
So near the door—and the door stood wide!
Close to the port—but not inside!
Near to the fold—but not within!
Almost resolved to give up sin!
Almost persuaded to count the cost!
Almost a Christian—and yet lost!
Savior, I come, I cry unto Thee,
Oh, let not these words be true of me.
I want to come to Thee today;
Oh, suffer me not to turn away,
Give me no rest till my soul shall be,
WITHIN THE REFUGE! SAFE IN THEE!
