"Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them), Doth our law judge any man before it hear him, and know what he doeth?" (John 7:50,51).
The time for Nicodemus came
When he must speak aloud.
No longer could he bear the shame
Of blending with the crowd.
Quietly, he'd come by night
To hear our Savior's Word,
But now with boldness in the light
He spoke, and he was heard.
Nicodemus just appealed
To what the law had said:
That they should hear what Christ revealed,
And by the truth be led.
Today there is need to stand
Like Nicodemus did
Against the status quo's demand
That Christ should now be hid.
Beware, for silence gives consent
To lies that must be halted!
The dawn is near, the night far spent:
Our Lord should be exalted!
