Gone Forever

Gone Forever 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.
