Don't Shoot the Messenger Lyrics

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

In Him there is blessing and liberty, forgiveness is His way
In Him there's a ransom for you and me, new life everyday

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, 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

You and 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
