You have a message of a reprieve

A message of mercy to those who believe

But if it's guarded like a secret from a dying man

His blood is on your hands!

 

You have a message of a sentence forgone

Crimes are forgiven and freedom's been won

But will you let the execution day

Come and go without a word of it's stay?

 

Now souls are dying in sin's chains

and only one hope remains

YOU are the witness by your life and words

If you sit in silence the truth won't be heard

 

We do not well to keep our peace

When we have word of the prisoner's release!

So if we fail to answer God's command

Theoir blood is on our hands!
