Everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

If you know Snow’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Come to the Savior, now’s the day,
Moments are passing fast away;
Ask Him forgiveness to allow,
Ask Him to save you, ask Him now.
Refrain
Ask Him to save you while you may,
Ask Him to help you on your way;
Ask Him to pardon, to endow,
Ask Him to love you, ask Him now.
Now is the time, accepted time,
Jesus is calling, don’t decline;
Tell Him your weakness, all avow,
Tell Him your longings, tell Him now.
Refrain
He will receive you, do not fear,
All that He asks is fervent prayer;
He has a crown awaiting you,
Will you accept it, will you now?
Refrain
