We're concerned for the sinner in China
And the heathen in Mandalay,
But say, do we care, have we offered a prayer
For the neighbor just over the way?
We say we would go with the Gospel
To lighten dark Africa's shore, but
Have we spoken a word in the Name of the Lord
To people who live just next door?
The person who lives down the highway,
Who looks so forbidding and grim;
Do we have no "call" to witness at all
Or speak of the Savior to him?
We'd take the Gospel to savages,
We'd cross the stormy tide;
But we will not "tell out" what the Gospel's about
To the fellow who works by our side!
We'd tell of our wonderful Savior
And His love we have found so sweet
To some far-off lot, but certainly not
To folks we will meet on the street!
Oh, we would be missionaries
And go out the lost ones to seek.
We'll send a preacher to Hindustan
And we'll buy New Testaments for Japan,
But never a word will we speak!
BUT, WHY?
