Why Not Now?

Verse 1

Why not now, my God, my God? Ready if thou always art, Make in me thy mean abode, Take possession of my heart: If thou canst so greatly bow, Friend of sinners, why not now?

Verse 2

God of love, in this my day For thyself to thee I cry; Dying, if thou still delay Must I not for ever die? Enter now thy poorest home: Now, my utmost Saviour, come!
