Based on Matthew 28:19, 22:9
It's so easy to lose the burden
Take our eyes off the fields
Settle into apathy
And forget what the harvest yields
It's so easy to think we're finished
With our labor for awhile
Kick back and let somebody else
Go the extra mile
Jesus said go (Go!)
Into all the world
Make disciples of all men
We gotta go (Go!)
To the highways
And compel them to come in
As long as there's a tearful eye
That cries alone at night
As long as there's a weary soul
Ready to end the fight
As long as there's an aching heart
That still has strength to beat
We gotta take this message
Back to the street
We gotta take this message
Back to the street
It's so easy to stay untangled
With everyone else's life
Don't get involved with strangers
Don't get involved with strife
It's so easy to save your own life
Resting on what you've done
But Jesus would leave the 99
To try to save the one
Jesus said go (Go!)
Into all the world
Make disciples of all men
We gotta go (Go!)
To the highways
And compel them to come in
As long as there's a tearful eye
That cries alone at night
As long as there's a weary soul
Ready to end the fight
As long as there's an aching heart
That still has strength to beat
We gotta take this message
Back to the street
We gotta take this message
Back to the street
It's not easy to beat the system
It's not easy to face the heat
But somebody's got to take this message
Back to the street
As long as there's a tearful eye
That cries alone at night
As long as there's a weary soul
Ready to end the fight
As long as there's an aching heart
That still has strength to beat
We gotta take this message
Back to the street
We gotta take this message
