Shall I Die Without a Savior?

Barney Elliott Warren • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 27:3-5

Verse 1

Shall I die without a Savior? Shall I lose my precious soul? Shall I cross death’s chilly river? Shall I miss yon brighter goal?

Chorus

Shall I gain a home in heaven? Shall I live in sin below? Lose my crown, my soul, and mansion, And go down to endless woe?

Verse 2

Shall I die without a Savior? Shall I hear His voice no more? Shall I let my heart grow harder? Shut myself from mercy’s door?

Chorus

Shall I gain a home in heaven? Shall I live in sin below? Lose my crown, my soul, and mansion, And go down to endless woe?

Verse 3

Shall I die without a Savior? Perish when I see the light? Still neglecting, doomed forever, Banished to the darkest night?

Chorus

Shall I gain a home in heaven? Shall I live in sin below? Lose my crown, my soul, and mansion, And go down to endless woe?

Verse 4

Shall I die without a Savior? Perish just in sight of home? And be lost, yea, lost forever, Reach my awful, final doom?

Chorus

Shall I gain a home in heaven? Shall I live in sin below? Lose my crown, my soul, and mansion, And go down to endless woe?

Verse 5

Shall I die without a Savior? And yet, hope to make a start? Still refusing Him to enter, And thus tighter lock my heart?

Chorus

Shall I gain a home in heaven? Shall I live in sin below? Lose my crown, my soul, and mansion, And go down to endless woe?
