The Mission Lyrics

Go album version:
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…oh, oh

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

It's my heart's desire
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
I wanna run with fire
It's my heart's desire
Lifting Your love higher
It's my heart's desire




Go Remixed album version:
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

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, but now...

(And) I can hear the mission bell ringing out loud and clear
Loud and clear, loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started, and it's, 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
It's my heart's desire

(And) I can hear the mission bell ringing out loud and clear
Loud and clear, loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started, and it's, and it's here
Echoing across the world from the shores of Galilee
I can hear the mission bell call for you and me, oh oh
I wanna run with fire
It's my heart's desire
Lifting Your love higher
It's my heart's desire
