WILL YOU HEARKEN TO ME

1.You know how I saved you, redeemed you from sin,

Freed you from problems without and within;

You called unto Me and I answered your cry!

Can you My love deny? O now to Me draw nigh!


               CHORUS


Will you hearken, O now to Me,

Will you hearken to Me?

Make up your mind to do My will

My grace flows on you still.


2.How much you did strive for a life that’s sublime!

Yielding, unquestioning and biding My time;

But now discontented you groan and despair;

O will you leave your care? Draw near to Me in pray’r!


3.I know how you’ve patiently labored for Me,

Bearing, enduring, rejoicing in Me;

You’ve left your first love, O your state I deplore!

Return, your works restore! I love you as before!


4.You talk of revival and things of great worth!

Never perceiving you’re minded on earth!

You’re turning to world and its things you pursue!

O gain a heavenly view! Your life in Me renew!


5.You say that you walk in the light and in truth,

Still then your brother you slander and loathe!

You judge him, your life but you don’t rectify,

How much you’re led by lie! Repent, I’ll sanctify!
