The Mission

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] I wanna run with fire It's my heart's desire Lifting Your love higher [Verse 2] 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 Oh, oh [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] I wanna run with fire It's my heart's desire Lifting Your love higher It's my heart's desire [Chorus] 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 can hear the mission bell ringing out loud and clear It's the revolution Jesus started, and it's here [Post-Chorus] I wanna run with fire It's my heart's desire Lifting Your love higher It's my heart's desire
