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
Feelin' 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 movin' so slow
When His church refuse to obey
Feelin' so called to stay
Oh, how God calls as He stalls 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)
It should be the exception if we stay
(It's no wonder we're movin' so slow)
It's no wonder we're movin' so slow
(When His children refuse to obey)
When God's children refuse to obey
Feelin' so called to stay
I don't know what you think a Christian is
I've known so many people that think
A Christian means goin' to church a lot
You may have heard this before
But goin' to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger
Sayin' a prayer don't make you a Christian, people in every religion pray
Even prayin' to Jesus doesn't make you a Christian
He says, "Many shall come in that day and say, 'Lord, Lord'"
He says, "Depart from me, I never knew you"
Having the gifts of the Spirit or looking like you've got 'em doesn't make you a Christian
Jesus said, "Many shall come in that day and say
'Lord, did we not cast out demons
And heal the sick and raise the dead and all kinds of stuff?'
And He'll say the same thing,
"Depart from me, I never knew you" You know what a Christian is? I've got a really good definition
Someone who's bananas for Jesus Someone who loves the Lord, thy God with all his heart
All his soul, all his mind and all his strength
Don't forget the second part
And he loves everybody else
as much as he loves himself
But we go the other way
So He carries the burden alone
While His children are busy at play
Feelin' 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 movin' so slow
When His church refuse to obey
Feelin' so called to stay
Oh, how God calls as He stalls 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)
It should be the exception if we stay
(It's no wonder we're movin' so slow)
It's no wonder we're movin' so slow
(When His children refuse to obey)
When God's children refuse to obey
Feelin' so called to stay
