Lay my head upon my pillow

Trying hard to sleep.


Lying in a bed of comfort


I began to weep.

How can I just dream my dreams


And simply drift along,


When I know by the time I wake

Thousands will be gone.





(They'll be) Gone forever, perishing alone,

Gone forever, never having known


Of One who loved them with a love


They never knew in life.

So I cry in the darkness


Cause they never saw the Light.




Lord, how it must break Your heart


To see them slip away.


Perishing in countless numbers

Every passing day.


Half the world has never yet


Even heard Your name

And those of us who know You well


We're the ones to blame.




And how will they know


And now who will go


To take the message of your love to everyone.
