Why Not Now?

"Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you: NOW then do it" (2 Samuel 3:17,18). "How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity, and scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at My reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you" (Proverbs 1:22,23). "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me... to preach the acceptable year of the Lord" (Luke 4:18,19). "Behold, NOW is the accepted time" (2 Corinthians 6:2).

If God is calling you to turn,
And His Spirit shows you how,
Since He bids you come and learn,
Why not therefore do it now?

If God has warned you not to wait
Why would you then still allow
Yourself to thus procrastinate?
Why not therefore do it now?

If God has given you a gift
To serve in love and thus endow
His grace to others you may lift,
Why not therefore do it now?

If God has spoken to your heart
To place your hand upon the plow,
What has hindered you to start?
Why not therefore do it now?

If God exalts our Savior's name,
And every knee shall surely bow,
Why then wait to do the same?
Why not therefore do it now?
