Jesus Lingers Still, 'tis For You He Waits

To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers. John 10:3-5

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched. 2 Corinthians 8:9

  1. 2 Peter 3:9, Revelation 3:20Jesus lingers still, 'tis for you He waits,

    2 Peter 3:9, Revelation 3:20And He's waited for you long;

    1 Peter 1:4, 1 Corinthians 15:49He waits that heav'n, with its fadeless joy,

    1 Peter 1:4, Acts 2:39May yet to you belong.

  2. Luke 15:13, Romans 3:23Though your wayward feet have wandered far,

    Luke 15:13, Romans 3:23And you're deeply sunk in sin,

    Revelation 3:10, Romans 5:15Yet in patient grace now the Saviour waits

    Job 6:14, Matthew 11:28Your weary heart to win.

  3. Hebrews 12:25, Hebrews 4:7Though His gracious call you have oft refused,

    Acts 28:25-27, Romans 10:21And He's sought your trust in vain,

    Hebrews 2:3, Romans 10:21Yet with love unchanged by cold neglect

    Romans 10:20, Romans 10:21He is seeking you again.

  4. 1 Timothy 1:15, 2 Corinthians 5:20O surrender now, yield to love divine,

    Isaiah 42:1-4, Isaiah 30:18Jesus lingers for you still;

    Matthew 11:28, John 6:37While in grace He says, "Come unto Me,"

    John 1:12,13, John 6:37Let your answer be, I will!

  5. Revelation 22:17, John 3:16Come and welcome, welcome whosoever will,

    John 11:28, Matthew 11:28'Tis the Saviour's gracious call;

    Hebrews 7:25, Mark 1:41He is able, willing, waiting now to save;

    Ephesians 3:11,12, Ephesians 1:13Simply trust Him, that is all.
