He Was Not Willing -ins466.mid - [Play Midi]

1. He was not willing that any should perish;
   Jesus enthroned in the glory above
   Saw our poor fallen world, pitied our sorrows,
   Poured out His life for us, wonderful love!
   Perishing, perishing! Thronging our pathway
   Hearts break with burdens too heavy to bear
   Jesus would save, but their's no one to tell them
   No one to lift them from sin and despair

2. Plenty for pleasure, but little for Jesus
   Time for the world with its troubles and toys
   No time for Jesus' work, feeding the hungry
   Lifting lost souls to eternity's joys
   Perishing, perishing! Hark, how they call us
   Bring us your Savior, oh, tell us of Him!
   We are so weary, so heavily laden,
   And with long weeping our eyes have grown dim

3. He was not willing that any should perish
   Am I His follower, and can I live
   Longer at ease with a soul going downward
   Lost for the lack of the help I might give?
   Perishing, perishing! Thou wast not willing
   Master, forgive, and inspire us anew
   Banish our worldliness, help us to ever
   Live with eternity's values in view
