Why Do You Wait? by George F. Root

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.

Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?
Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?

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.

Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?
Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?

Do you not feel, dear brother,
His Spirit now striving within?
O why not accept His salvation
And throw off your burden of sin?

Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?
Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?

Why do your wait, dear brother?
The harvest is passing away;
Your Savior is longing to bless you,
There's danger and death in delay.

Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?
Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?
