Lyrics
He was meek and He was gentle, a shepherd to His lambs
He was kind and He was humble. There was love in the touch of His hands
But those hands turned over the table. He was bold when He told about sin
and He said one night to religious Nicodemus "Ye must be born again"
So preach it the way He preached it. And call it the way He sees it
How can the world find mercy until they know they need it
With burning hearts they'll see a dying world and want to reach it
Speak the truth in love and in the Spirit's power just preach it
How can we have compassion and not warn of the wrath ahead
or tell of sweet salvation without calling the lost to repent
Christ ? to reveal what they needed the most
It was how they could be justified and redeemed through the grace He came to show
So preach it the way He preached it. And call it the way He sees it
How can the world find mercy until they know they need it
With burning hearts they'll see a dying world and want to reach it
Speak the truth in love and in the Spirit's power just preach it
Have courage men of God in these dark and final days
Tell the truth as Jesus did even though the doubters try and challenge what you say
So preach it the way He preached it. And call it the way He sees it
How can the world find mercy until they know they need it
With burning hearts they'll see a dying world and want to reach it
Speak the truth in love and in the Spirit's power just preach it
