The Mission
Steve Green
THERE'S A CALL GOING OUT
ACROSS THE LAND
IN EVERY NATION
A CALL TO ALL
WHO SWEAR ALLEGIANCE
TO THE CROSS OF CHRIST
A CALL TO TRUE HUMILITY,
TO LIVE OUR LIVES RESPONSIBLY
TO DEEPEN OUR DEVOTION
TO THE CROSS AT ANY PRICE
LET US THEN BE SOBER,
MOVING ONLY IN THE SPIRIT
AS ALIENS AND STRANGERS
IN A HOSTILE FOREIGN LAND
THE MESSAGE WE'RE PROCLAIMING
IS REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS
THE OFFER OF SALVATION
TO THE DYING RACE OF MAN
TO LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD
IS THE HEARTBEAT
OF OUR MISSION
THE SPRING FROM WHICH
OUR SERVICE OVERFLOWS
ACROSS THE STREET
OR AROUND THE WORLD
THE MISSION'S STILL THE SAME
PROCLAIM AND LIVE THE TRUTH
IN JESUS' NAME
AS A CANDLE IS CONSUMED
BY THE PASSION OF THE FLAME
SPILLING LIGHT UNSPARINGLY
THROUGHOUT A DARKENED ROOM
LET US BURN TO KNOW HIM DEEPER
THEN OUR SERVICE FLAMING BRIGHT
WILL RADIATE HIS PASSIONS
AND BLAZE WITH HOLY LIGHT
(HOLY LIGHT)
TO LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD
IS THE HEARTBEAT OF OUR MISSION
TO LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD
IS THE HEARTBEAT OF OUR MISSION
