Lyrics
Verse 1
Why do you wait dear brother,
O why do you tarry so long?
Your savior is waiting to give you
A place in his sanctified throng.
Verse 2
What do you hope dear brother
To gain by a further delay?
There's no one to save you but Jesus,
There's no other way but His way.
Verse 3
Why do you wait dear brother?
The harvest is passing away;
Your savior is longing to bless you
There's danger and death in delay.
Chorus
Why not? Why not?
Why not come to him now?
Why not? Why not?
Why not come to him now?
