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
