1.

How much longer on the broad way will you walk in sin and woe?
How much longer will you answer Jesus “No”?
Why be fearful of the others? See the wasted years behind.
Why continue sick and anxious in your mind?
Jesus came to earth below, life and peace to thus bestow,
And the way to God He made for us to go.

2.

In the garden see His sweat like blood as He His Father sought.
See His anguish as alone in prayer He fought.
“O my Father, be it possible, then let this cup pass by,
Yet not Mine own will but Thine be done,” His cry.
See His death wrought victory, shedding blood for you and me.
Yes, His all He gave, a sacrifice to be.

3.

Though your sins be red as scarlet, He can make you white as snow.
His salvation and His goodness you can know.
O believe He really loves you; just for you His life He gave.
Pray to Him, and He will come to you and save.
A new life can now begin, if you give up all for Him.
He will lead you and can keep your steps from sin.
