1.

Why still wait with your decision
To forsake the ways of sin?
/: How you need to seek salvation
And to come to peace within! :/

2.

O how can you bear it, knowing
That you’ve grieved your father’s heart?
/: On life’s way you’re still not going.
Must he die before you start? :/

3.

At God’s throne your mother’s pleading;
Oft with tears she bows to pray.
/: ’Tis for you she’s interceding,
As you wander, far astray. :/

4.

When your parents have departed,
If you still remain unsaved,
/: So regretful, heavy-hearted,
You’ll stand weeping at their grave. :/

5.

Your excuses have no basis;
Of God’s way you’ve clearly heard,
/: So you know how great God’s grace is
And the power of His Word. :/

6.

Heed God’s call! From sin awaken!
Soon Christ comes! You must prepare!
/: Those who’re ready will be taken;
They will meet Him in the air. :/
