Jesus Commands Us to Go!

Jesus commands us to go

But we go the other way

So He carries the burden alone

While His children are busy at play

Feeling so called to stay

Oh, how God grieves and believes

That the world can't be saved unless the ones He's appointed obeys

His command and His stand for the world

That He loved more than life, oh He died, and He cries out tonight

Jesus commands us to go

It should be the exception if we stay

It's no wonder we're moving so slow

When His church refuse to obey

Feeling so called to stay

Oh how God comes as He starts the great judgment of fire

So He can gain, His greatest desire

'Cause He knows that the souls of the lost

They can only be reached through us, we're His hands and His feet

Jesus commands us to go

It should be the exception if we stay

It's no wonder we're moving so slow

When God's children refuse to obey

Feeling so called to stay
