Down among the dead men.
Down there among the dead men, where they all hang out,
There's a stench of the hopeless, wailing and crying out.
They're yelling for mercy from God who doesn't seem to care,
Because they don't know He's sent the Christians down there.
The Saints won't want to spoil their pristine holy garments,
They think it a sentence and can't afford the payments.
But God's not deaf and He's not so blind as He can't see,
And says "When you minister to them you minister to me".
"When they are in the hospital, you visit them, you visit me"
"When I was in prison, did you visit the least, and visit me"?
They say they've a home to build, a job to do, and hours, a few,
In reply, He says "I'm building you a mansion, I've a job for you".
