Silencing the Prophets

Sending away,
putting into prison, shut him up
the killing of the messenger
these men of God
silencing the prophets
so they may not be heard

But others have come,
others are sent
to share the message
the redemption of God

When we turn our face
from the ways of the world
and turn our lives
to the ways of our Lord
our lives changed
healed, made clean
before our maker

By grace alone,
the sacrifice of the lamb
his blood making me whole
a message to share
hope to make known
to the ends of the earth
