1.
While we are fighting for theological details
people around us are perishing
while we reflect on what to say about God
people need help - but we remain quiet

Chorus
Tell them, tell them the truth,
Jesus loves the world and died on the cross
we already received forgiveness in him
so let us follow his order and tell them
there's forgiveness
there's healing
there's new life

2.
Whom shall we follow, Baptists or Lutherans
Catholics or Pentacosts?
The question is which of them tells the plain truth?
A question that decides about your faith

Chorus
Don't care, don't care at all
it was no Baptist or Lutheran who gave you new life
join in, where God leads you, perform your task
so won't you follow his order and tell them
there's forgiveness
there's healing
there's new life

3.
It's a big waste of time when we sit around
and brood over minor matters
it sometimes starts with the question "should God have ever said" -
and it ends with the fact that you loose all your faith

Chorus
Tell them what the chief matter ist
Jesus loves the world and he died on the cross
there's grace for you and grace for me
so let us follow his order and tell them
there's forgiveness
there's healing
there's new life
