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 obey
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 refuses 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
