Here'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 CHORUS: 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 pa**ion of the flame Spilling light unsparingly Throughout the darkened room Let us burn to know him deeper Then our service flaming bright Will radiate his pa**ions and blaze with holy light (CHORUS)
