Hell Is Burning While The Church Sleeps - Steve Camp

Oh, I’ve heard all the stories

'Bout the mighty things you’ve done

You say you’d risk it all

In the end to save someone

But not love money

More than you love the Lord

And your life is filled with things

That your soul cannot afford

Hell is burning while the church sleeps

Don’t you know

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Oh, we’re stuck in our pews

As they’re dying in our streets, you know

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

We all heard about a brother

Who was slipping away

We passed around his problems

Like hor d’oeuvres on a tray

Some of them were rumor

Some of them were fact

As we went to lift him up

We just prayed him in the back

Hell is burning while the church sleeps

Don’t you know

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Oh, we’re stuck in our pews

As they’re dying in our streets, you know

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Oh, yeah

Outside, the battle rages on

Inside, it’s nice and safe and warm

No need to ever be alarmed

Like our dear brother Keith once said:

«We're so well fed, but still we’re dead!»

We need to hear it once again

Oh, we burn away the hours

By the light of our TV

While Pat and Vanna tell us

There’s a «Wheel» to meet our need

But we’ve got a job to do

We must do it very well

If we can ever live the truth

We can rescue our neighbor from hell

Hell is burning while the church sleeps

Don’t you know

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Oh, we’re stuck in our pews

As they’re dying in our streets, I said

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Oh, hell is burning while the church sleeps

Oh, hell is burning while the church is asleep

Oh, we’re stuck in our pews

As they’re dying in our streets, you know

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Whoa-whoa, oh-whoa…

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Don’t you know

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Oh, we’re stuck in our pews

As they’re dying in our streets, you know

Hell is burning while the church is asleep

Whoa-whoa, oh-whoa…

Hell is burning while the church is asleep
