We Must Pass It On Lyrics

Men and women, through the ages, chose to give their lives

Standing on the promises of God, they would not deny

Some at stakes with flames rolling 'round them

Other ones in the mouths of lions

In a world not worthy of them

I can hear their plea

Asking us to guard the trust that's been placed in us

In purity we must keep the precious Word of God

There is a debt we owe to all of those

Who've kept the faith this long

And to all who'll come, we must pass it on

We've had a treasure handed to us we can't afford to lose

We must be willing to fight to the finish to protect the truth

All the saints up in Heaven count on us

All who'll come later on depend on us

We've got to ensure the light of Jesus

Shines after we're gone

We've got to guard the trust that's been placed in us

In purity we must keep the precious Word of God

There is a debt we owe to all of those

Who've kept the faith this long

And to all who'll come, we must pass it on

We have got to guard the trust that's been placed in us

In purity we must keep the precious Word of God

There is a debt we owe to all of those

Who've kept the faith this long

And to all who'll come, we must pass it on

We must pass it on

We must pass it on
