Listen

Would you listen, would you listen There's a baby crying down in Bethlehem Would you listen, would you listen To the voice of hope that's ringing through the land People listen, listen But still don't understand Would you listen, would you listen There's a great man preaching sending out His word Would you listen, would you listen To the truth He speaks and still He is not heard Would you listen, would you listen To a great man preaching turn your head around People listen, listen But still don't understand [Chorus:] But don't you know His love will shine down on you Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you If you will open up your ears and open up Your heart and listen Would you listen, would you listen There's a hammer ringing, ringing through the land Would you listen, would you listen To a cruel, cruel message Crucify the man People listen, listen 'Cause His blood is falling in the sand When the baby cried we closed our ears to wisdom When the word was preached we closed our minds to love And when the hammer rang we closed our hearts to Jesus Now will you listen, listen, listen Open up your ears, open your heart Open up your mind and open up your soul Open up your heart, yeah, open up your heart and listen
