Are you tired of sinning,
Loathing it today?
Do you want your heart made clean?
Jesus is the Way.
Refrain
Come to Jesus, lost one;
Oh, no longer roam;
He in pity waits to bless,
Calling you, Come home.
Are the chains drawn closer,
Would you be made free?
Come to Jesus, lingering one,
He will save e’en thee.
Refrain
Do you doubt His promise?
Put it to the test;
He said, Come unto Me,
I will give you rest.
Refrain
Yes, His blood can cleanse you,
Wash you from each sin;
Yield your heart to Him this hour,
Bid Him enter in.
