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

CHORUS
When we say what we say we’ve
Got to face the nation
We got to show a dying world
The power of love
When we say what we say we’ve
Got to face the nation
How will they ever know if they
Don’t see it in us
You just never know who mightBe 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

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 commanded
You. And lo, I am with you always, even
To the end of the age.” (Matt. 28:19-20)
