HELL – The Dead Know Nothing by Bro H

[Verse 1] In the garden God told Adam: On the day you eat, you'll die But the serpent said you will not die — now who's been preaching that lie? The preacher stands beside the grave with a Bible in his hand And says, “The dead are more alive than ever” — and the mourners trust the man. But Solomon wrote it plainly in the ninth of Ecclesiastes The dead know not anything — their love and hatred cease No work, no thought, no knowledge, no wisdom in the grave The first moment of awareness is the resurrection day [Chorus] The dead know nothing. They sleep silent in the grave. No work, no thought, no wisdom. No praise their lips can raise. Till the voice of Christ shall call them: "Come forth" — on resurrection day. [Verse 2] Genesis two and seven — dust and breath became a soul Not a soul poured into a body, but a body made whole Take away the breath of life and the soul don't go nowhere The soul is what you are, not something flying through the air The serpent's oldest sermon is still preached in every pew That the wages of sin is not death, but merely passing through But Moses and Paul set death and life before us—the only roads; Not eternal bliss or burning — death and life — read what they wrote [Chorus] The dead know nothing. They sleep silent in the grave. No work, no thought, no wisdom. No praise their lips can raise. Till the voice of Christ shall call them: "Come forth" — on resurrection day. [Bridge] David is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre's with us today Acts two and twenty-nine — Peter said it plain as day David is not ascended into the heavens — he's in the ground Waiting on the resurrection morning, waiting for that sound If the soul flies straight to glory when the mortal body dies, What remains for resurrection if the dead are still alive? Paul said if the dead rise not, then faith itself is vain; The resurrection— not a flight to heaven—is the hope he proclaimed. [Verse 3] The last enemy to be destroyed is death — First Corinthians fifteen Not a doorway to another world, not a tunnel in between O death where is thy sting, O grave where is thy victory — Hosea thirteen fourteen, now swallowed up in victory He holds the keys of Hades and of death — Revelation one eighteen The gates of Hades shall not prevail — the grave must yield its dead He went down and He came up, the Firstfruits of the dead; And all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, just as He said [Final Chorus] The dead know nothing. They sleep silent in the grave. No work, no thought, no wisdom. No praise their lips can raise. They are not more alive than ever — They await the appointed day, When the voice of Jesus Christ shall call them forth From the silence of the grave.
