1.

Dear wayward soul, into sin led astray,
From peace and happiness, so far away,
Pause now and listen, I call you today;
Hearken, for I am the new, living Way.

Chorus:

Sinner, come back, I am waiting today;
Hearken to Me, to the new, living Way.
Strength for each day, it sufficient shall be.
While I am nigh, give your heart unto Me.

2.

Count all as dung that this world has to give
If as My own blessed child you would live.
All things I claim, but I fill every need.
From sin and Satan I’ll free you indeed.

3.

See, in My hands I have graven you here,
And in My sight you are precious and dear.
Suff’ring, My portion, your debt thus to pay;
Come unto Me; I’m the new, living Way.
