Newsboys - The Mission lyrics

When the runners came from Bethlehem
All breathless with good news
They were passing a baton
Forward through time
The commission, from God's lips to our ears
Carried by His saints two thousand years
Connects us all to the same lifeline
As I fix my eyes ahead
I can feel the Spirit's breath

And I can hear the mission bell
Ringing out loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started
And it's here echoing across the world from
The shores of Galilee
I can hear the mission bell
Call for you and me

I wanna run with fire it's my heart's desire
Lifting Your love higher

In the history of our faith's arrivals
Great awakenings, Welsh revivals
Saints and martyrs, summoned by a new birth
Patrick's save of the Irish nation
William Carey's expectation lambs & lions
Called to the ends of the earth
Gotta put my hand to the plow
Not looking back, not now oh, oh

I can hear the mission bell
Ringing out loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started
And it's here echoing across the world from
The shores of Galilee
I can hear the mission bell
Call for you and me

I wanna run with fire it's my heart's desire
Lifting Your love higher
It's my heart's desire

I can hear the mission bell
Ringing out loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started
And it's here echoing across the world from
The shores of Galilee
I can hear the mission bell
Call for you and me
I can hear the mission bell
Ringing out loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started
And it's here

I wanna run with fire it's my heart's desire
Lifting Your love higher
It's my heart's desire
