Why Not Today?

Charles Price Jones • English

Primary Scripture: Hebrews 3:7-8

Verse 1

Why not today? The Saviour calls thee now; Why not today in faith and meekness bow? Why not today? He mercy waits to show; Christ alone can save and bless thee, Why not today?

Chorus

Why not today, O sinner! Why not today? Jesus is calling to you, come while you may! Heed not the siren call of sin, but away; Why not today, O brother, Why not today?

Verse 2

Why not today? The Saviour calls thee now; Why not today His pow'r of service know? Why not today, since thou His work wouldst do? Hear Him how He pleads and begs thee; Why not today?

Chorus

Why not today, O sinner! Why not today? Jesus is calling to you, come while you may! Heed not the siren call of sin, but away; Why not today, O brother, Why not today?

Verse 3

Why not today? The Spirit waits to bless; Why not today be filled with righteousness? Why not today the world with Christ impress? Wouldst thou help the Saviour, brother, Why not today?

Chorus

Why not today, O sinner! Why not today? Jesus is calling to you, come while you may! Heed not the siren call of sin, but away; Why not today, O brother, Why not today?
