Mission of Love: Embracing Devotion and Redemption in Christ
Lyrics
Here’s a call going out across
Initiating a call that transcends borders
The land in every nation
Addressing people in every country
A call to all who swear allegiance
Summoning those dedicated to the Christian faith
To the cross of Christ
Dedication to the symbol of Christ's sacrifice
A call to true humility
Encouraging genuine humility
To live our lives responsibly
Living responsibly in accordance with faith
To deepen our devotion to the
Strengthening commitment to the Christian cross despite challenges
Cross at any price
Commitment to the Christian faith regardless of cost
Let us then be sober moving
Advocating for a cautious and spiritual approach
Only in the spirit
Guidance to move with spiritual awareness
As aliens and strangers in
Living as outsiders in a challenging world
A hostile foreign land
Emphasizing a message of repentance and forgiveness
The message we’re proclaiming is
Expressing the core message of the mission
Repentance and forgiveness
Preaching the need for repentance and offering forgiveness
The offer of salvation to the
Extending salvation to humanity in distress
Dying race of man
Addressing the deteriorating condition of humanity
To love the lord our god
Highlighting the importance of loving God
Is the heartbeat of our mission
Emphasizing that devotion to God is central to the mission
The spring from which our service overflows
Describing the overflow of service from love for God
Across the street or around the world
Reaffirming the consistency of the mission globally
The mission’s still the same
Summarizing the enduring nature of the mission
Proclaim and live the truth in Jesus name!
Declaring the proclamation and living of truth in Jesus' name as the mission
As a candle is consumed
Using the metaphor of a candle being consumed by passion
By the passion of the flame
Describing the intense burning passion for Christ
Spilling light unsparingly
Radiating light generously in a spiritually dark environment
Throughout the darkened room
Metaphorically spreading the knowledge of God
Let us burn to know him deeper
Advocating for a deep understanding and connection with God
Then our service flaming bright
Expressing that genuine service emanates from a profound knowledge of God
Will radiate his passions and
Anticipating that dedicated service will reflect God's passions
Blaze with holy light
Describing the service as glowing with divine light
