Scripture Verse

If thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezekiel 33:8–9

Lyrics

Would you care if some friend
You have met day by day
Should nev­er be told about Je­sus?
Are you will­ing that he
In the judg­ment should say:
No one ev­er told me of Je­sus.

Refrain

Nobody told me of Je­sus;
Nobody told me of Je­sus;
So ma­ny I met—
But they seemed to for­get
That I wanted the sto­ry of Je­sus.

Care you not if one soul
Of the child­ren of men
Should nev­er be brought un­to Je­sus?
Or could say in that day
When He com­eth again,
No one ev­er told me of Je­sus.

Refrain

Would you care if your crown
Should be star­less­ly dim,
Because you led no one to Je­sus?
Make it true that some heart
Shall not an­swer to Him:
No one ev­er told me of Je­sus.

Refrain

Oh, be si­lent no long­er!
But car­ry the news,
And tell of the cru­ci­fied Je­sus!
Tell it! Tell it so ear­nest­ly
None can re­fuse
To ac­cept this won­der­ful Je­sus.

Refrain
