Lyrics

Why long­er trav­el the path­way of sin?
Jesus is migh­ty to save;
Come un­to Him and a new life be­gin;
Jesus is migh­ty to save.

Refrain

If you on­ly knew the love of Je­sus,
If you on­ly knew His sav­ing pow­er,
You would come to Him now,
At His feet would bow,
And be saved this ve­ry hour;
You would come to Him now,
At His feet would bow,
And be saved this ve­ry hour.

Why do you ling­er when sweet mer­cy calls?
Jesus is migh­ty to save;
Come while ’tis day, ere the night dark­ness falls;
Jesus is migh­ty to save.

Refrain

Hear now the voice that in love bids you come;
Jesus is migh­ty to save;
Think of the joys of the heav­en­ly home;
Jesus is migh­ty to save.

Refrain

Go not away with a sin bur­dened soul;
Jesus is migh­ty to save;
He can re­lieve you, and He makes you whole;
Jesus is migh­ty to save.
