Why will you die, why will you die?
God’s Ho¤ly Spir¤it asks you why
Will you not flee while hope is nigh,
And ref¤uge find in Je¤sus.

Chorus:
Be¤hold His dy¤ing love for thee,
Those cru¤el thorns His ag¤o¤ny,
Oh, turn your eyes to Cal¤va¤ry,
Be¤hold the love of Je¤sus.

Oh, soul be¤ware lest you de¤part
This life, no hope left in your heart:
No God of Love to take your part,
No liv¤ing hope in Je¤sus.

His love dis¤pels all doubt and fear,
Un¤cer¤tain¤ty will dis¤ap¤pear,
And God will give you sure and clear
A stead¤fast hope in Je¤sus.

Be¤hold, they pierced His hands and side
For you, He bowed His head and died
Now heav¤en’s gate is o¤pen wide,
Oh, en¤ter in with Je¤sus.
