Verse one
Six Million People crying from the grave
Invisible People calling out their names
Beautiful People taken from their homes
Scattered People nowhere to go

Channel One
And the Mothers and Fathers and the Sons and Daughters
They were carried away in trains
Their bodies were broken and beaten and burned
And their ashes fell down like rain
They were branded with a number and a yellow star
And paraded around in shame
They called it a crime, “To be born a Jew”
And in the name of God they were slain

Chorus
The Forgotten People, calling out, calling out, calling out
Six Million People, crying out, crying out, crying out
The Forgotten People, calling out, calling out, calling out
The Chosen People, crying out, crying out, crying out

Verse Two
Blessed People who tried to help
While Evil people schemed among themselves
Every day People who ignored the news
Indifferent People sitting in the pews

Channel Two
Sound the Alarm!!, “Shouting Never Again”!!
Let the righteous revolution begin
History must never repeat itself
So lift your voices and take a stand
United as one “For Zion’s Sake”
Undivided as the Nations Rage
We’ve got to rise like an Army in “The Name”
For the Nation that was born in a day

Chorus

Israeli Audio/Visual Broadcast: With“David Ben Gurion”(Israel’s first Prime Minister in 1948) speaking and singing with his staff, the song “HaTikvah”, Israel’s National Anthem

Chorus

Verse Three
Can you hear them crying out again?

Never Again !!

The Bible says, “For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Ex 20:5-6)

Lord, I hear the cries of six million of your people. Men, woman, children, murdered, annihilated in the Holocaust and burnt.  We confess these atrocities as sin and humble ourselves before you in shame. You have heard our plea and our repentance has come before your ears.

Lord, I see black smoke. It rises up and spreads out like a veil of darkness over the nations again! The dark veil is the sin of our silence! Just as we Germans have remained silent, the peoples and the nations are silent once again. Again, your people Israel are hated, despised and rejected, and yet we remain silent, even in the church. We are silent, concerning the sin of our fathers. We remain silent, and behold, the black smoke is covering us again.

From the Land of unmerited grace, we are calling out, Nations arise! For Zion’s sake, open your mouth! Never again, slander, hatred or death! Israel, we will never forsake you again! You are our inheritance, our love, the blessing for all nations! Listen! Receive the word! It will pervade your spirit, No more silence! Never again! Never again! Never again!
