COME HERE, LORD- John Work 1907
Come here Lord!
Come here, Lord!
Come here, Lord!
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!” (repeat)
O little did I think He was so nigh
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord”
He spoke, and he made me laugh an' cry
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
Come here Lord!
Come here, Lord!
Come here, Lord!
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
O mourners, if you believe
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
The grace of God you will receive
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
Come here Lord!
Come here, Lord!
Come here, Lord!
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
Some seek God’s face, but don’t seek right
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
Pray a little by day and none at night
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
Come here Lord!
Come here, Lord!
Come here, Lord!
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
O sinner now you better pray
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord”
For Satan’s ‘round you every day
Sinners crying, “Come here, Lord!”
