Lyrics

Some one has slighted
The Sav­ior today;
Has it been you?
Has it been me?
Some one has heedlessly
Turned Him away;
Has it been you or me?

Refrain

Still He is lovingly
Pleading today,
Pleading with you,
Pleading with me;
Tho’ we so often
Have turned Him away,
He’s pleading with you and me.

Some one has carelessly
Spoken His name;
Has it been you?
Has it been me?
Some one has brought to Him
Sorrow and shame.
Has it been you or me?

Some one has said,
Till tomorrow I’ll wait.
Has it been you?
Has it been me?
Some one will find that
Tomorrow’s too late—
Will it be you or me?

Refrain

Some one will heed Him
And make Him their choice;
Will it be you?
Will it be me?
Some one in Him will
Forever rejoice—
Will it be you or me?
