4him – Face The Nation lyrics

I heard somebody say
No matter what you do
Before you speak your heart
Know who you're talkin' to
What good are words
If there's nobody listening
If you can testify
To what the Lord can do
Then don't you think it's time
To prove His promise true
If you believe
That the message is clear
Then you must turn around
So the hungry can hear

When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
We gotta show a dyin' world
The power of love
When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
How will they ever know
If they don't see it in us

You just never know
Who might be listening
But if they can't hear us
The words mean nothing
When we say what we say
We've got to face the nation

We tell the Lord we'll go
Where He would have us serve
But sometimes honest vows
Become just token words
Never fulfilling the call
That's been given
When just outside our door
There waits a world in need
So many breaking hearts
That only He can see
We have the power
That's found in His word
But we have to reach out
If we're gonna be heard

When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
We gotta show a dyin' world
The power of love
When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
How will they ever know
If they don't see it in us

You just never know
Who might be listening
But if they can't hear us
The words mean nothing
When we say what we say
We've got to face the nation

(Matt. 28: 19-20):
And Jesus said to them, "Go
Therefore and make disciples of all nations
Baptizing them in the name of the Father
And the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Teaching them to observe
All that I have commanded you
And lo, I am with you always
Even to the end of the age
I am with you always
Even to the end of the age"

When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
We gotta show a dyin' world
The power of love
When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
How will they ever know
If they don't see it in us

When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
We gotta show a dyin' world
The power of love
When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
How will they ever know
If they don't see it in us

When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation, yeah
When we say what we say
We've gotta face the nation
