[Verse 1]
C
When Jesus journeyed here
G
He traveled far and near
F C G
With one main goal: to seek and save the lost.
C
Though His followers condemned Him so,
G
Unto a sinner He would go;
F C G
Still, He pressed on, His message to bestow.
[Chorus]
C
Should we neglect the cause?
G
Should we forget the lost
F C G
And fail to point the sinner to the cross?
C
Then would our labor be in vain
G
If we deny Jesus' name
F C G
To the world dying in their shame.
F
Should we neglect the cause.
[Verse 2]
C
But now into the field,
G
It has much fruit to yield.
F C G
But, sad to say, the laborers are few.
C
To busy seeking wealth and fame
G
And worldly good and selfish gain;
F C G
Not knowing they will never mean a thing.
[Chorus]
C
Should we neglect the cause?
G
Should we forget the lost
F C G
And fail to point the sinner to the cross?
C
Then would our labor be in vain
G
If we deny Jesus' name
F C G
To the world dying in their shame.
F
Should we neglect the cause.
[Tag]
F C
One by one they go,
F G C
People dying everywhere,
F C
Who will never know
F Dm G
That Jesus really cares.
[Chorus]
C
Should we neglect the cause?
G
Should we forget the lost
F C G
And fail to point the sinner to the cross?
C
Then would our labor be in vain
G
If we deny Jesus' name
F C G
To the world dying in their shame.
F
Should we neglect the cause.
G C
Should we neglect the cause.
