When the runners came from Bethlehem
|
All breathless with good news
|
They were passing a baton forward through time
|
The commission, from God's lips to our ears
|
Carried by his saints two thousand years
|
Connects us all to the same lifeline
|
As I fix my eyes ahead
|
I can feel the spirit's breath...
|
|
(AND) I CAN HEAR THE MISSION BELL RINGING OUT LOUD AND CLEAR
|
IT'S THE REVOLUTION JESUS STARTED, AND IT'S HERE
|
ECHOING ACROSS THE WORLD FROM THE SHORES OF GALILEE
|
I CAN HEAR THE MISSION BELL CALL FOR YOU AND ME
|
I WANNA RUN WITH FIRE
|
IT'S MY HEART'S DESIRE
|
LIFTING YOUR LOVE HIGHER
|
|
In the history of our faith's arrivals
|
Great awakenings, Welsh revivals
|
Saints and martyrs, summoned by a new birth
|
Patrick's save of the Irish nation
|
William Carey's expectation
|
Lambs & lions
|
Called to the ends of the earth
|
Gotta put my hand to the plow
|
Not looking back, not now...
