He Is Waiting for Your Answer

lyricist: Charles Barrett, 1907
Composer: Charles Gabriel

When the world no long­er charms you

And your soul for safe­ty yearns

When the tears have wet your pil­low

And your heart to Je­sus turns

Do you know the Sav­ior’s wait­ing

Asking that your will may bow?

He is wait­ing for your an­swer

Give

O give it to Him now!

He is wait­ing for your an­swer

He is wait­ing for your an­swer

Give it ere it is too late

Do not let Him long­er wait;

He is wait­ing for your an­swer

He is wait­ing for your an­swer

He is wait­ing for your an­swer

Give

O give it to Him now!

Had you list­ened ere sin bound you

Easier far it would have been;

Chains of ap­pe­tite or ha­bit

Could not now the vic­to­ry win;

Still today He of­fers par­don

Thro’ His blood’s life giv­ing flow;

He is wait­ing for your an­swer

Give

O give it to Him now!

Give the an­swer while He lin­gers

While His Spir­it pleads with you;

Let it be

I now sur­ren­der

All to Thee

Thy will to do!

Leaving all of sin be­hind thee

Catch a glimpse of Heav’n be­low;

He is wait­ing for your an­swer

Give

O give it to Him now!
