I was born with an angel
Whispering in my ear
Telling me sacred secrets
That God wanted me to hear
And I have lived to tell
The mysteries I've been told
And even when they tell me
It's my time to go
No, I will not
No, I will not
Not go quietly
No, I will not
No, I will not
Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly
Not gonna go quiet
These things I tell
They are much truer
Than the heart
Of he who speaks
And even so
This humble servant
Cannot help but
Talk about his King
So I will sing oh, 'cause
I can't hold back the song
I shout and scream
Until God takes me home
But I will not
No, I will not
Not go quietly
No, I will not
No, I will not
Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly
So how can I keep silent?
So how can I not speak?
And tell about the Savior
Who has set this prisoner free?
No, I will not
No, I will not
Not go quietly
No, I will not
No, I will not
Not go quietly no, no
No, I will not
No, I will not
Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly
Not go quietly
