The Louvin Brothers
Almost Persuaded
[Verse 1]
Almost persuaded now to believe
Almost persuaded, Christ to receive
Seems now some soul to say, go, spirit, go thy way
Some more convenient day, on thee I'll call
[Verse 2]
Almost persuaded, come, come today
Almost persuaded, turn not away
Jesus invites you, angels are lingering near
Prayers rise from hearts so dear, oh wanderer, come
[Verse 3]
Almost persuaded, harvest is past
Almost persuaded, doom comes at last
Almost cannot avail, almost is but to fail
Sad, sad, that bitter wail, almost, but lost
