God is calling you today,
Will you not the call obey?
Come and in His love confide,
Mercy’s door is open wide.
Refrain
Yes, I come, my God to Thee,
Mercy is my only plea;
Saved by grace thro’ love divine,
I am now a child of Thine.
God is calling you today,
From your sins to turn away;
And from every idol part,
Loving Him with all your heart.
Refrain
God is calling you today,
Whispers softly, Why delay
?
Hasten to the mercy seat,
Here He waits your soul to greet.
Refrain
God is calling you today,
Calling, sinner, night and day;
Come by faith, His grace implore,
Saved from guilt to sin no more.
