Would you listen, would you listen
There's a baby crying down in Bethlehem
Would you listen, would you listen
To the voice of hope
That's ringing through the land
People listen, listen
But still don't understand

Would you listen, would you listen
There's a great man preaching
Sending out His word
Would you listen, would you listen

To the truth He speaks
And still He is not heard
Would you listen, would you listen
To a great man preaching
Turn your head around
People listen, listen
But still don't understand

(Chorus)
But don't you know His love
Will shine down on you
Oh and yes His peace
Will come in and rescue
Don't you know His blood
Will cleanse you and save you
If you will open up your ears and open up
Your heart and listen

Would you listen, would you listen
There's a hammer ringing
Ringing through the land
Would you listen, would you listen
To a cruel, cruel message
Crucify the man
People listen, listen
Cause His blood is falling in the sand

(Chorus)

When the baby cried
We closed our ears to wisdom
When the word was preached
We closed our minds to love
And when the hammer rang
We closed our hearts to Jesus
Now will you listen, listen, listen

(Chorus)

Open up your ears, open your heart
Open up your mind
And open up your soul
Open up your heart, yeah
Open up your heart and listen
