If I In Silence Do Dismiss
The World cries forth their banner
Diversify, inclusify all manner
Of behavior and thought
Unless you dare to say
Christ died, your salvation bought
Upon the cross that day
Truth is relative they cry
You cannot know the how or why
Unless of course you do proclaim
The gospel message of our God
The freedom found in Jesus name
Then on this truth they trod
Proclaiming it a heresy
Denying their relativity
To justify their rhetoric
They blast you with their words of hate
Ignoring they’re a hypocrite
As your thoughts they berate
If truth is relative as they say
Why would they toss my truth away?
Their passion screaming very loud
To silence every Christian’s voice
They flame the fires within the crowd
Denying me my choice
But then, the worst is this
If I in silence do dismiss
My passion for my Lord within
And silently I walk away
Allowing them to die in sin
Never showing them the way
For Grace demands I speak what’s true
To everyone who never knew
The love of God, his Grace toward them
No matter what they say or do
I must point each one to Him
By all I say or do
I must sing His name High Above
Telling all about His love
And lay aside all dread or fear
His truth I must always proclaim
My life reflecting Him as near
That they may know Jesus Name
He is the way, the truth, the life
The only way to end all strife
He gave His life to pay my price
Redeeming me in righteousness
No other name could e’er suffice
Transforming pain to joy and bliss.
He is my Lord, my Love, my King
His Glory I must always sing
And never let their words of hate
Silence me, for if they do
Destruction, death their only fate
Unless they come to know what’s true
