Representative Text

1 Souls are drifting afar from shore;
Strength has vanished and hope is o’er!
Must they perish forevermore?
Can’t you rescue one?

Chorus:
Even one,
Even one;
Soon forever they may be gone!
Darkness falls, Jesus calls:
“Can’t you rescue one?”

2 Souls are roaming the plains of sin,
Ending ever where they begin;
No one tells them which path leads in.
Can’t you rescue one? [Chorus]

3 Jesus died for the lost and lone;
Yet to some He is still unknown.
Won’t you help Him to gain His own?
Can’t you rescue one? [Chorus]
