219. The Lord is Ready to Save You

1 Tho’ you’ve wandered far in your sins, unheeding,
And your feet are bruised, weary, torn, and bleeding,
Come with broken heart and for mercy pleading—
The Lord is ready to save you.

Refrain:
He was ready, when I came,
To receive me, praise His name!
And for you He’ll do the same;
When your doubts give way,
And you come believing,
The Lord is ready to save you.

2 Tho’ your sins rise up mountain-high before you,
And the fear of death holds dominion o’er you,
When you tell Him all of your life’s sad story—
The Lord is ready to save you. [Refrain]

3 Soul, enslaved by sin, he for you is calling;
He will break the chains now your life enthralling;
He your freedom bought with a price appalling—
The Lord is ready to save you. [Refrain]

4 All that you can do will be fruitless trying!
Just repent and trust—on His word relying;
He remembered you on the cross when dying—
The Lord is ready to save you. [Refrain]
