Why do you wait to be better,
When Jesus is calling you now?
Why do you wait till you’re older,
When NOW at His feet you may bow?
Why do you wait, when He asks you
To come as you are, in your need?
Why do you wait, while He’s pleading
To make your soul happy indeed?
Why do you wait, for the sunshine
Of days that are brighter to come?
Why do you wait, when ere morning
For’er may be settled your doom?
Why do you wait, little children?
Oh, come and believe on Him now,
Why do you wait? for He’s waiting
Salvation on you to bestow.
Wait no longer, He will save you;
Wait no longer, come today;
Wait no longer, or His offer
From you soon may pass away.
