Tune: "O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing"
Verse 1:
Paul was a pris-o-ner in Rome.
A guard was by his side.
But friends could come and vis-it him,
And this ser-vant al-ways tried
Verse 2:
To tell of Je-sus and His love
To those who came to hear,
And some be-lieved the words of Paul,
Bu-t oth-ers were not near.
Verse 3:
Some heard but nev-er un-der-stood,
Saw, but did not per-ceive,
They closed their eyes and stopped their ears
For they just would not be-lieve.
Verse 4:
I'll o-pen up my heart to-day
God's mes-sage to be-lieve.
With eyes to see and ears to ear
Je-sus Christ I will re-ceive.
