Sheet music
- 1What will you do with Jesus?The question comes to you!And you must give an answer, for something you must do.What shall it be?What shall it be?What shall your answer be?What will you do with Jesus?Oh, what will your answer be?
- 2“What will you do with Jesus?”It comes by night and day;With pierced hands uplifted,He waits what will you say?What shall it be?What shall it be?What shall your answer be?What will you do with Jesus?Oh, what will your answer be?
- 3What will you do with Jesus?He's knocking at the door!Refuse Him, soul, no longer,Lest He should plead no more.What shall it be?What shall it be?What shall your answer be?What will you do with Jesus?Oh, what will your answer be?
