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!
