[Verse 1 — Female] Pa-pa-pastor, I heard what you said. You showed them the darkness. You showed them the dead. You named every failure, every stain, every sin. But you closed up your Bible— before you told them WHAT CHRIST DID. You brought them to Calvary. You showed them the blood. Then left them there staring at everything they'd done. No. If you're gonna preach darkness, then finish what you began. Tell them about Jesus. TELL THEM WHAT CHRIST DID. [Chorus — Female + Choir] TELL THEM WHAT CHRIST DID! Christ died for our sins! He was buried! HE ROSE AGAIN! Don't leave them in darkness. Don't leave them condemned. If you're gonna preach the cross— TELL THEM WHAT CHRIST DID! [Instrumental] [Verse 2 — Male] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden— I will give you rest. I know what pain is. I know what wounds do. But I know the One who carried me through. He didn't tell me darkness wasn't dark. He gave me light. He didn't tell me death wasn't death. He gave me life. [Female] THAT'S HIM. Not softer than truth. Not afraid of the night. Full of grace. Full of truth. JESUS CHRIST. [Chorus — Female + Male] TELL THEM WHAT CHRIST DID! Christ died for our sins! He was buried! HE ROSE AGAIN! Don't leave them in darkness. Don't leave them condemned. If you're gonna preach the cross— TELL THEM WHAT CHRIST DID! [Verse 3 — Female] And don't mistake mercy for weakness. Don't mistake patience for permission. The Lamb that was slain is alive for evermore. And when He comes again— He isn't coming to negotiate with darkness. Out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword. He shall smite the nations. He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [Breakdown — Female] So preach repentance. YES. Preach judgment. YES. Call darkness DARKNESS. Call sin SIN. But when that sinner asks— IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR ME? Don't hand him himself. DON'T HAND HIM WORKS. DON'T HAND HIM FEAR. GIVE HIM THE GOSPEL. [Male — Strong] Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. He was buried. He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. [Silence] [Female] THERE. NOW YOU FINISHED THE SERMON. [Final Chorus — Full Choir] TELL THEM WHAT CHRIST DID! CHRIST DIED! CHRIST WAS BURIED! CHRIST ROSE AGAIN! THE DARKNESS DID NOT WIN! THE GRAVE DID NOT WIN! DEATH DOES NOT GET THE FINAL WORD! TELL THEM WHAT CHRIST DID! TELL THEM WHAT CHRIST DID! JESUS CHRIST IS RIZZEN! [Outro — Male + Female] [Male] Gentle with the wounded. [Female] Stern against the darkness. [Male] Mercy for the sinner. [Female] Truth without compromise. [Both] One body. One Head. One Saviour. One Lord. [Spoken] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. JESUS IS THE LORD
