1 Do you long just now to be free from sin?
Jesus is waiting to save,
Do you want your soul made pure within?
Jesus is waiting to save.

Refrain:
He is waiting, He is waiting to save,
Sinner, the promise is true,
Come now to the cross,
Counting all else but lost,
For Jesus is waiting to save.

2 At the door of your heart, in love He stands,
Jesus is waiting to save,
He holds out to you His nail-pierced hands
Jesus is waiting to save. [Refrain]

3 ‘Twas for you, on the cross, He shed His blood,
Jesus is waiting to save,
Oh, plunge just now in the crimson flood,
Jesus is waiting to save. [Refrain]
