The Mission (song)

Adapted from a poem I wrote 19 years ago.

LYRICS:

Some times life, just passes by,
We can get so distracted, we can't say why
We lose all perspective, we lose all sight
Have we considered, our neighbour’s plight.

If he passed away tomorrow, and stood before our King,
Can you imagine his terror, when he sees all his sin?
In all of eternity, never to see the light of day,
Never will the burning stop, or cease to go away.

This life that we live here will soon be all done,
Why don't we listen to God’s only Son?
Millions are waiting they have not yet heard,
We've been given the mission to go share the word.

When we stand before our maker and all is said and done,
Will you have run the race we knew we had to run?
Will a crown of glory be placed upon our head?
Or will the words “Depart from me” be told to us instead?

Think for a moment of those that are not saved,
And the cure we are holding and refuse to give away.
Make today the day that you start to reach the lost,
Pleading with every person at any given cost.

This life that we live here will soon be all done,
Why don't we listen to God’s only Son?
Millions are waiting they have not yet heard,
We've been given the mission to go share the word.

It will never happen to me is so often what we say,
Do we really think that time will keep us from that day?
Each day that goes bye creeps nearer the end,
We'll have to account for the lives we did spend.

This life that we live here, will soon be all done,
Why don't we listen to God’s only Son?
Millions are waiting they have not yet heard,
We've been given the mission to go share the word.

Millions are waiting they have not yet heard,
We've been given the mission, to go share the word.
