Jesus Is Gently Calling
Our time on earth is drawing to a close.
Does your struggling soul seek repose?
From times of yore, the truth's been known.
The footprints to follow have been shown.
Jesus is gently calling, no sin too great,
no works will cleanse or change man's fate.
Seek him who saved you by his grace.
Forsaken, crucified, he took your place.
There'll be no beer, no dancing, no party in hell.
You won't see your friends, but you will hear them yell.
Lay aside your vanity and your pride.
Jesus is gently calling, don't push him aside.
Don't leave it too late, don't harden your heart,
don't follow the crowd and take the loser's part.
Open the door, take our father's hand
and one day we'll meet, in the promised land.
