Death or Life

Lyrics with Chords


“I’ve called you to fish for men’s souls,” says the Lord of life.
“To love them with all you are and have and do.
Instead you write your books, your treatises and arguments and exposes
To show the world you know the right and only way.
Where is your concern for the widow, the orphan, the least?
You’re locked in your self-concealed circle of comfort,
Congratulated and led, taught by blind leaders of the blind.
How will you know you’re only spreading more disease?”

Pale shadowless specters of men slide across the stage of life.
Flawless in their deformity, they perpetuate the dark
And lifeless nature of which they think they have no part.
The very weapons they choose show that they’ve already lost the fight.

“Teaching men what is right must accompany walking in the light.
Life and love are never served by darkness, lies and hate.
Truth precedes freedom just as light removes the dark.
When truth is what really matters, you’ll have no trouble seeing My light.
I call out to everyone but not everyone will heed My call.
If you’re going to answer Me, it requires of you your all.
Partial obedience, pockets of resistance or reservations for self,
I cannot accept, tolerate nor absolve.”

But still the shadowless specters through dead lips proclaim words of life.
With shallow, must dankness, they speak of life and love.
Meaningless, empty imitation they offer as they too refuse to enter in.
And while anxious for followers and popularity, they see not how they deprive.
When one is given eyes to see, one can only turn and look.
When one sees how the children suffer, grieve and die,
When one sees the misery of the darkened human soul,
Then that one who sees can only use those eyes to weep.

“I’ve called you to fish for men’s souls,” says the Lord of life.
“To love them with all you are and have and do.
Instead you write your books, your treatises and arguments and exposes
To show the world you know the right and only way.
Where is your concern for the widow, the orphan, the least?
You’re locked in your self-concealed circle of comfort,
Congratulated and led, taught by blind leaders of the blind.
How will you know you’re only spreading more disease?

Never settle for dead men’s lies but seek out only the Lord of life.
His words are true and He will never feed you with lies.
Our Creator is eternal, unchanging and transcendent,
Wanting His children to live forever, saddened when they choose to die.
See before you this mystery – this choice of death or life.
Don’t mistake your freedom or use your liberty for your self.
The God of love, truth, beauty and life commands you now:

Bow to Him and live! Bow to Him and live! Bow to Him and live!
