Keith Green Jesus Commands Us to Go! lyrics

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
