Why Not
Si Zentner And Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many are happy in Jesus tonight,
Why not you? Why not you?
Sure of a home in the mansions of light,
Why not you?

Daily His wonderful mercy they prove,
Singing, rejoicing, as onward they move
Safe in His keeping they rest in His love,
Why not you?

Many were snatch'd from the brink of despair,
Why not you? Why not you?
Now in the joys of the Righteous they share,
Why not you?

Daily His wonderful mercy they prove,
Singing, rejoicing, as onward they move
Safe in His keeping they rest in His love,
Why not you?

Many a prodigal child has returned,
Why not you? Why not you?
Blessings to find in the home they had spurned,
Why not you?

Daily His wonderful mercy they prove,
Singing, rejoicing, as onward they move
Safe in His keeping they rest in His love,
Why not you?

Many are close to the brink of the grave,
Why not you? Why not you?
Fully persuaded that Jesus can save,
Why not you?

Daily His wonderful mercy they prove,
Singing, rejoicing, as onward they move
Safe in His keeping they rest in His love,
Why not you?

Many are now on their journey to heav'n,
Why not you? Why not you?
Knowing thro' faith that their sins are forgiv'n,
Why not you?

Daily His wonderful mercy they prove,
Singing, rejoicing, as onward they move




Safe in His keeping they rest in His love,
Why not you?
