Luke 17
Full Song Lyrics
Verse 1 — Do Not Cause the Fall
He turned and spoke to those who followed near
“Stumbling blocks will come — but hear
Woe to the one who leads astray
Better drowned than cause that way
Guard the little, guard the weak
Watch your life, watch what you speak”
Chorus — Forgive Again
If your brother turns and falls
Forgive again when mercy calls
Seven times, and seven more
Grace is what the Kingdom’s for
Verse 2 — Faith Asked For
They said, “Increase our faith today”
He answered them another way
“If faith were small as mustard seed
You’d speak — and mountains would concede
Faith is not in size or show
But trusting God where you don’t know”
Verse 3 — Unworthy Servants
“Which servant comes in from the field
And sits to eat before he’s healed?
He serves, then eats — that’s how it’s done
You’ve only done what duty’s won
When all is said, let this be known
We’ve done our work — no claim is owed”
Chorus — We Serve Because
We serve because He first commands
Not for praise from human hands
Obedience is not for gain
It’s love expressed without demand
Verse 4 — Ten Men Healed
On the road, ten voices cried
“Jesus, Master!” from the side
He sent them off as law requires
They were healed as faith transpired
One turned back with thankful breath
A foreigner — despised by men
Verse 5 — Where Are the Nine?
“Was no one found,” the question asked
“To give God praise, to lift their thanks?”
He spoke to one who knelt in grace
“Your faith has saved you — go in peace”
Chorus — Give Thanks
Not all who’re healed will turn and see
That mercy calls for gratitude
Faith is shown by thankful praise
Returned to God in humble ways
Verse 6 — The Kingdom Asked
They asked Him when God’s reign would start
He answered truth that pierced the heart
“It doesn’t come for eyes to scan
The Kingdom’s here — among you now”
Verse 7 — Days of the Son
He warned of days like Noah’s flood
Like Lot who fled the falling mud
Life went on, unready still
Till sudden judgment sealed God’s will
Do not look back, do not delay
The one who clings will lose the way
Final Chorus — Be Ready
Be ready when the moment comes
The Son of Man will not announce
One taken, one left standing still
The choice revealed by heart and will
Outro
Faith that forgives, thanks that returns
A ready heart — that’s what He learns
