Story behind the song
"Sung in the perspective of some one who died in their sin and went to hell, it’s a message from their soul to the believer in their life that neglected to share the gospel with them.
We must preach and live by the saving grace of Jesus Christ. If we die in our sin, eternity of torture is what is owed for our sin. Trust in Jesus today and you will be saved! " (Erin Reilly)
“When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.” - Ezekiel 33:8
Lyrics
I was on the street
Did you not see me bleed?
I was in the store
But you just ignored
I sat by your desk
Everyday you still refrained
Did you not think that my life would end this way?
Why didn’t you tell me?
Why didn’t you warn me?
You could have saved me from this hell
Why were you speechless?
You could have changed this
I didn’t know Jesus
Why didn’t you care?
The addict that I was
Living for the buzz
Slept with anyone
Craved to be some one
You saw I was lost
Worshiping my worthless gods
Now for all eternity I’ll pay the cost
Why didn’t you tell me?
Why didn’t you warn me?
You could have saved me from this hell
Why were you speechless?
You could have changed this
I didn’t know Jesus
Why didn’t you care?
Another life pulled down here
Forever more condemned here
Within that fresh, cool breath you took
(Must feel nice)
I can’t take this torture
There is no relief
My blood is on your hands, but I understand
You were too busy, with all your hobbies
Are you gonna let
Are you gonna let
All the other ones burn here too?
Why don’t you tell them?
Why don’t you warn them?
You might just save them from this hell
(Tell them Jesus saves)
Why are you speechless?
You have to change this
They need to know Jesus
Don’t you care?
Don’t you care?
Don’t you care?
