what price do we pay

what price do we pay

when we are silent

when we do not act

on our beliefs, our convictions

what price do we pay

when we play it safe

when we do not risk

in spreading the gospel

what price do we pay

when we do not speak in love

when we allow judgement

to hurt the body

what price do we pay

when we sit on the sidelines

when we enjoy our comfort

while others are in pain
