Lyrics

Don’t Shoot the Messenger
 
               
The prophets of old   ----   Spoke the Word, - Convincing men of sin
The kings were told   ----   You’d better turn, - or face the fix you’re in
                         
And when they didn’t like what they heard – they turned an evil eye!
And when they killed ---- The man of God, - They heard the prophet’s cry
 
(Bridge)
In Him there is blessing and liberty. Forgiveness is His way
                           
In Him there’s a ransom for you and me, new life everyday
 
(Chorus)
                                                                            
Don’t shoot the messenger; you know I bring good news
If you feel the fear of God, You know what you must choose
Don’t shoot the messenger (or – We are the Messenger), my message - don’t refuse
 
Just embrace the love of God, there’s nothing you can lose  
    
When Christ was killed ----- Then raised again, The Holy Ghost came down
 
Disciples turned ----- Apostles then, - about to gain their crown
 
And when they shared what the Lord had done – they knew they could die
 
Those that killed ---- the martyrs heard, - the bold apostles’ cry
 
(Bridge)    (Chorus)


You & I ---- In this room, - ask ourselves today
 
Will we hear ---- Or face our doom, - C’mon what do you say?
 
And when you don’t like what you hear – don’t turn an evil eye
 
Just believe ---- the man of God, - Messenger will cry
 
(Bridge)    (Chorus)    (Solo)    (Chorus)
