Lyrics
\[Verse 1\] Lace up my shoes today Out in the morning sun Got a job to do A mission just begun He didn’t tell us to sit around Or wait inside the room He said to get on out there And make His mercy bloom \[Chorus\] So we gotta go to the ends of the earth Tell everybody what their soul is worth In the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost That’s the news that matters most Walk in the light, spread the word around Best good news that you ever found! \[Verse 2\] Down to the water’s edge Washing the past away Starting brand new life Stepping into the day Learning the things He taught Walking the path He set The greatest friend we’ve known The best love you can get \[Chorus\] So we gotta go to the ends of the earth Tell everybody what their soul is worth In the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost That’s the news that matters most Walk in the light, spread the word around Best good news that you ever found! \[Bridge\] All the power on earth and sky Belongs to Jesus up on high And He’s right here with us every day Guiding our steps all along the way! \[Verse 3\] So listen up real close Open your heart right now Jesus is calling out He wants to show you how Trust in the Lord today Give Him your heart and mind Accept Him as Savior now Best truth you'll ever find! \[Chorus\] So we gotta go to the ends of the earth Tell everybody what their soul is worth In the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost That’s the news that matters most Walk in the light, spread the word around Best good news that you ever found! \[Outro\] Yeah, spread the word! Jesus is Lord! To the ends of the earth! Tell everybody!
Study notes
Key Elements of the Verse • The Command ("Go and make disciples"): Believers are instructed to actively reach out beyond their local communities to invite all people—regardless of ethnicity or culture—into a life of following Jesus. • The Scope ("All nations"): The mission extends globally to every people group rather than being restricted to a single nation or group. • The Sign of Commitment ("Baptizing them"): New disciples are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, publicly marking their faith, transformation, and inclusion in the family of God. • The Trinitarian Formula ("Father, Son, and Holy Spirit"): The verse explicitly highlights the three persons of the Christian Trinity. This verse acts as the foundational mission statement for the Christian church, paired closely with verse 20's instruction to teach obedience and the promise of Christ's continual presence.
