Listen

Would you listen, would you listen

There's a baby crying down in Bethlehem

Would you listen, would you listen

To the voice of hope that's ringing through the land

People listen, listen but still don't understandWould you listen, would you listen

There's a great man preaching sending out His word

Would you listen, would you listen

To the truth He speaks and still He is not heard

Would you listen, would you listen

To a great man preaching turn your head around

People listen, listen but still don't understandBut don't you know His love will shine down on you

Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue

Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you

If you will open up your ears and open up your heart and listenWould you listen, would you listen

There's a hammer ringing, ringing through the land

Would you listen, would you listen

To a cruel, cruel message, 'Crucify the man'

People listen, listen 'cause His blood is falling in the sandBut don't you know His love will shine down on you

Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue

Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you

If you will open up your ears and open up your heartHis love will shine down on you

Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue

Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you

If you willWhen the Baby cried we closed our ears to wisdom

When the word was preached we closed our minds to love

And when the hammer rang we closed our hearts to Jesus

Now will you listen, listen, listenHis love will shine down on you

Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue

Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you

If you will open up your heartHis love will shine down on you

Oh and yes His peace will come in and rescue

Don't you know His blood will cleanse you and save you

If you will open up your ears and open your heart

Open up your mind and open up your soul

Open up your heart, yeah, open up your heart and listen
