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.
