why are you here – v2


why are you silent
sitting around, complacent
why are you still here
why are you still sitting
why aren’t you out there
living out the Great Commission

why haven’t you spoken
taken a risk for them
why are you silent
when you should be speaking
why aren’t you out there
living out the Great Commission
