Jamie Rivera Lyrics
“The Mission”
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
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 the darkened room
Let us burn to know him deeper
Then our service flaming bright
Will radiate his passions and
Blaze with holy light
