Lyrics

Some one has slight­ed
The Sav­ior to­day;
Has it been you?
Has it been me?
Some one has heed­less­ly
Turned Him away;
Has it been you or me?

Refrain

Still He is lov­ing­ly
Pleading to­day,
Pleading with you,
Pleading with me;
Tho’ we so oft­en
Have turned Him away,
He’s plead­ing with you and me.

Some one has care­less­ly
Spoken His name;
Has it been you?
Has it been me?
Some one has brought to Him
Sorrow and shame.
Has it been you or me?

Some one has said,
Till to­mor­row I’ll wait.
Has it been you?
Has it been me?
Some one will find that
Tomorrow’s too late—
Will it be you or me?

Refrain

Some one will heed Him
And make Him their choice;
Will it be you?
Will it be me?
Some one in Him will
Forever re­joice—
Will it be you or me?
