Verse 1
Oh God of grace how often have I grieved Thee
How seldom have I sung Thy praise
And little do I know how much I need Thee
And time again I turn away

Verse 2
For how my heart is hard and unbelieving
For all I’ve done and left undone
Your love is not reluctant to receive me
My soul draws back but love says “Come”

Chorus 1
He will not cast you out
He will not cast you out
Whoever enters in
Will forever dwell with Him
Draw near faint heart draw near
Oh Love still bids you welcome here

Verse 3
Oh Father when I sin against my neighbor
I turn away your very Son
Who died to call us friends when we were strangers
And says to ev’ry sinner “Come”

Bridge
Oh Lord of light You call us out of darkness
To turn aside from sin and live
And prodigals we come to you for pardon
Oh Abba Father take us in

Chorus 2
He will not cast you out
He will not cast you out
Whoever enters in
Will forever dwell with Him
He will not cast you out
He will not cast you out
Whoever enters in
Will forever dwell with Him
Draw near faint heart draw near
Oh Love still bids you welcome here
