Chorus
Somebody tell him that the lost are saved Somebody tell him that his debt's been paid And let him know, love is calling out his name Somebody tell him, he's a child of the king And there is an end to this suffering And hope that never fades, through grace that's made a way Somebody tell him, somebody tell him now.
You can see it on the TV Or in the middle of a crowded room There's a sea of broken hearts, that are longing To be washed away by an ocean of truth
Chorus
Somebody tell them that the lost are saved Somebody tell them that their debt's been paid And let them know love is calling out their names Somebody tell them, they're the child of the king And there is an end to this suffering And hope that never fades through grace that's made a way. Somebody tell them, somebody tell them now. Oh somebody tell them, somebody tell them now.
Bridge
Too many times we've all held back The truth from those put in our path So let us be the voice of love Somebody tell them now Somebody tell them now
My Thoughts On This Song:
This song, in my opinion, emphasizes the fact that we should be witnessing to others..because so many people are broken inside, and they know somethings missing but they don't know what, exactly, they are missing. We were placed here to make disciples for Jesus. We don't have time to be complacent. We don't have time to sit back and wait. We should be up on our feet trying our hardest to get people to know Who Jesus is and how much He loves them. There is a desperation in these people like no other. They need Jesus.
The Bible explains to us why witnessing is important, and how we should go about Making Disciples:
1 Peter 3:15:
But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
Mark 16:15-16
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
John 3:17
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
These verses are about witnessing. We are only saved through Jesus, we can't save people, Jesus can! Don't hold back for the fear of looking stupid. I would rather look stupid than miss the oppurtunity to share Jesus with someone. It may not seem like a big deal, but Jesus commanded us to love others. Loving others means protecting others. Sharing Jesus with those who don't know him counts as protecting them. There are so many broken people in this world, and we have the answer! Jesus is the answer!
If you're worried about what to say...the Bible says....
Matthew 10:19
..do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say,
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Romans 8:38-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
