The dust kicks up beneath their boots
They're coming soon to claim their proof
So if they knock upon my door
Let them hear me singing more
If chains are waiting down the road
If iron waits to claim my bones
Then let them catch me where I stand
With lifted voice and open hands
Oh please, God, when they come for me
Let 'em find me praising my King
Let 'em find me feeding the poor
Let 'em hear the gospel ring
Let 'em hear a hymn from these lungs I breathe
Let 'em see the mercy free
Oh please, God, when they come for me
Let 'em find me on my knees
They'll bring their laws and polished lies
Their careful words and watchful eyes
But truth is fire in the bone
And I can't leave that flame alone
So if they drag me through the square
Let them hear the good news there
Let them say when night is done
"She never stopped the holy song"
If fear comes knocking at my gate
If darkness tries to seal my fate
Then let them see before the chains
A heart that only speaks His name
Oh please, God, when they come for me
Let 'em find me praising my King
Let 'em find me feeding the poor
Let 'em hear the gospel ring
Let 'em hear a hymn from these lungs I breathe
Let 'em see the mercy free
Oh please, God, when they come for me
Let 'em find me on my knees
Let 'em find me on my knees
Let them hear the mercy call
Echo down the prison walls
Let them know the reason why
I will never testify
Against the One who set me free
Against the cross on Calvary
Let them see the chains but know
The King is still upon His throne
When they come for me
When they come for me
When they come for me
Oh please, God, when they come for me
Let 'em find me praising my King
Let 'em find me feeding the poor
Let 'em hear the gospel ring
Let 'em hear a hymn from these lungs I breathe
Let 'em see the mercy free
Oh please, God, when they come for me
Let 'em find me on my knees
When they come for me
When they come for me
When they come for me
4:20
