1 We have a message, a message from Jesus,
And time is now speeding, the moments are few;
The Master is come, O make haste to receive him,
For sinners he waits; he is calling for you!

Refrain:
For you he is calling, for you he is calling,
Yes, Jesus is calling, is calling for you.

2 We have a message, a message from Jesus,
A message of hope to the weary of heart;
The love of my Saviour, there’s nothing so precious,
The friendship of Jesus will never depart.

3 We have a message, a message from Jesus,
A message of love to the poor sinbound soul;
The love of my Jesus will snap every fetter,
The blood of my Saviour makes perfectly whole.

4 We have a message, a message from Jesus:
O do not reject him and forfeit your soul!
The Saviour invites you just now to receive him,
And in his great love to be made fully whole.
