Hell Is Burning While The Church Sleeps |
| Oh, I’ve heard all the stories |
| 'Bout the mighty things you’ve done |
| You say you’d risk it all |
| In the end to save someone |
| But not love money |
| More than you love the Lord |
| And your life is filled with things |
| That your soul cannot afford |
| Hell is burning while the church sleeps |
| Don’t you know |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Oh, we’re stuck in our pews |
| As they’re dying in our streets, you know |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| We all heard about a brother |
| Who was slipping away |
| We passed around his problems |
| Like hor d’oeuvres on a tray |
| Some of them were rumor |
| Some of them were fact |
| As we went to lift him up |
| We just prayed him in the back |
| Hell is burning while the church sleeps |
| Don’t you know |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Oh, we’re stuck in our pews |
| As they’re dying in our streets, you know |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Oh, yeah |
| Outside, the battle rages on |
| Inside, it’s nice and safe and warm |
| No need to ever be alarmed |
| Like our dear brother Keith once said: |
| «We're so well fed, but still we’re dead!» |
| We need to hear it once again |
| Oh, we burn away the hours |
| By the light of our TV |
| While Pat and Vanna tell us |
| There’s a «Wheel» to meet our need |
| But we’ve got a job to do |
| We must do it very well |
| If we can ever live the truth |
| We can rescue our neighbor from hell |
| Hell is burning while the church sleeps |
| Don’t you know |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Oh, we’re stuck in our pews |
| As they’re dying in our streets, I said |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Oh, hell is burning while the church sleeps |
| Oh, hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Oh, we’re stuck in our pews |
| As they’re dying in our streets, you know |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Whoa-whoa, oh-whoa… |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Don’t you know |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Oh, we’re stuck in our pews |
| As they’re dying in our streets, you know |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
| Whoa-whoa, oh-whoa… |
| Hell is burning while the church is asleep |
