Lyrics
"The Forgottten People" © Rofex Publishing BMI 6/30/99 T. Pearce A million people crying out in pain Hidden people calling out in vain Miserable people with no where to go Invisible people nobody knows And the fields are red with the blood of brave men who would never deny the Name Their cities are burned and their daughters are raped and their sons carried off in chains And for the love of our God to be made known are willing to suffer the shame How Jesus must weep while we ask to be blessed while our brothers are being slain Blessed people try to help Too few people giving up theirself Beautiful people who bring good news Indifferent people sitting in the pews And the fields are red with the blood of brave men who would never deny the Name Their cities are burned and their daughters are raped and their sons carried off in chains And for the love of our God to be made known are willing to suffer the shame How Jesus must weep while we ask to be blessed while our brothers are being slain The Forgotten People, they are forgotten people It's time to wake up from the pleasant sleep Time to see our nakedness and begin to weep And the fields are red with the blood of brave men who would never deny the Name Their cities are burned and their daughters are raped and their sons carried off in chains And for the love of our God to be made known are willing to suffer the shame How Jesus must weep while we ask to be blessed while our brothers are being slain The Forgotten People, they are forgotten people Can you hear them calling out again?
