A PLEA TO LET YOUR PEOPLE GO
A plea to let your people go.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.
Hallelujah, what a Saviour, I owe everything to Him.
How precious You are oh Lord, oh God of the heavens,
Creator of the universe, there is none like You as your church echoes your praise!
We sit here, while thousands die.
Oh Lord how I mock you, have mercy on me!
Oh Lord how I spit in your face, have mercy on me!
Oh Lord how I hate you, have mercy on me!
Amazing grace, back to your face.
We sit here, while thousands die.
You sent your Son Jesus in your name to rescue the lost,
then you sent us in your name to rescue the lost.
You say go to all the nations,
we say, we are not called.
We sit here, while thousands die.
Jesus said, go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
We sit here while thousands die.
Jesus said, and this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed
throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations,
and then the end will come.
We sit here while thousands die.
May we despise westernised living,
but living it only for the sake of the lost in it.
Filter coffee, cheese cake and Hollywood,
Jobs, cool band, good sound, a nice preach,
lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant.
We sit here, while thousands die.
Oh Lord, may we walk in your ways,
obeying your commandments,
enjoying relationship with you,
rejoicing in you always!
Help us Jesus for we are your people, and your heritage,
which you brought out of darkness into your marvellous light!
Let your eyes be open to the plea of your servants when we call to you!
For this is the love of God, that we keep your commandments.
Have mercy on us Father! Have mercy on us!
Let us go! Let us go! Let us go oh Lord!
Because now,
we sit here, while thousands die without You.
