God Is Calling Thee

Barney Elliott Warren • English

Primary Scripture: Mark 10:49

Verse 1

Is God calling thee, O guilty sinner?— Satan has long on thee imposed— Or has the Spirit gone forever? Is thy heart’s door against Him closed.

Chorus

Come, sinner, God is calling thee; Come, sinner, God is calling thee; He is pleading, interceding; Come, God is calling thee.

Verse 2

Is God calling thee? Wilt thou not hear Him? Sinner, He’s pleading now for thee; In pity His Spirit draws thee near Him, Mercy and love are shown so free.

Chorus

Come, sinner, God is calling thee; Come, sinner, God is calling thee; He is pleading, interceding; Come, God is calling thee.

Verse 3

Is God calling thee in great compassion? Then let thy heart this Christ receive; He died on the cross to seal thy pardon; How canst thou thus His Spirit grieve?

Chorus

Come, sinner, God is calling thee; Come, sinner, God is calling thee; He is pleading, interceding; Come, God is calling thee.

Verse 4

Is God calling thee? Then wait no longer; Canst thou His pleading voice despise? If thou wilt obey, ’twill make thee stronger— From sin and guilt thou canst arise.

Chorus

Come, sinner, God is calling thee; Come, sinner, God is calling thee; He is pleading, interceding; Come, God is calling thee.

Verse 5

Yes, God’s calling me, and shall I slight Him? With this vain world for aye be lost? For His greater love I’ll not betray Him, No, I’ll be His at any cost.

Chorus

Come, sinner, God is calling thee; Come, sinner, God is calling thee; He is pleading, interceding; Come, God is calling thee.
