| Would you listen, would you listen
|
| There’s a baby crying down in Bethlehem
|
| Would you listen, would you listen
|
| To the voice of hope that’s ringing through the land
|
| People listen, listen
|
| But still don’t understand
|
| Would you listen, would you listen
|
| There’s a great man preaching sending out His word
|
| Would you listen, would you listen
|
| To the truth He speaks and still He is not heard
|
| Would you listen, would you listen
|
| To a great man preaching turn your head around
|
| People listen, listen
|
| But still don’t understand
|
| But don’t you know His love will shine down on you
|
| Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue
|
| Don’t you know His blood will cleanse you and save you
|
| If you will open up your ears and open up
|
| Your heart and listen
|
| Would you listen, would you listen
|
| There’s a hammer ringing, ringing through the land
|
| Would you listen, would you listen
|
| To a cruel, cruel message
|
| Crucify the man
|
| People listen, listen
|
| Cause His blood is falling in the sand
|
| When the baby cried we closed our ears to wisdom |
| When the word was preached we closed our minds to love
|
| And when the hammer rang we closed our hearts to Jesus
|
| Now will you listen, listen, listen
|
| Open up your ears, open your heart
|
| Open up your mind and open up your soul
|
| Open up your heart, yeah, open up your heart and listen |
