I was a one-time wild-eyed boy from California, who lost his way in a haze of pride, blinded by my pain,
Had no use for the father or the son; I was spiritual,
I answered to no master, but the one named Coltrane,
All that changed when God made his play, and I heard the voice of Jesus say...
Follow me to the ends of the earth,
Come and see how my kingdom works,
It's time to bring the world good news,
Hear the voice of Jesus calling me, calling you.
To be the word and work of God in the world,
To be the word and work of God.
I've been on this mission, as a musician, twenty years or more,
I've been hip, I've been hated, loved, and berated,
Been hot, cold, young, and old,
It doesn't matter; I'm not the point of it all,
It's only chatter, evidence of the fall,
The only thing that matters is to live for Christ today,
Set aside my own agenda and hear the voice of Jesus say...
Follow me to the ends of the earth,
Come and see how my kingdom works,
It's time to bring the world good news,
Hear the voice of Jesus calling me, calling you.
To be the word and work of God in the world,
To be the word and work of God.
Follow me to the ends of the earth,
Come and see how my kingdom works,
It's time to bring the world good news,
Hear the voice of Jesus calling me,
Hear the voice of Jesus calling me,
Hear the voice of Jesus calling me, calling you.
To be the word and work of God in the world,
To be the word and work of God,
To be the word and work of God in the world,
To be the word and work of God,
To be the word and work of God in the world,
Be the word and work of God,
Be the word and work of God in the world, (I wanna be)
Be the word and work of God,
Be the word and work of God in the world, (I wanna be)
Be the word and work of God,
To be the word and work of God in the world,
Be the word and work of God.
