Lyrics
\[Verse 1\] Stepping out into the morning Underneath the open sky There's a gentle voice that's calling As the quiet world goes by Telling us to go and share it Every place where people go Bringing hope to every corner So the whole wide world can know \[Chorus\] So we go to all the nations Every city, every street Sharing news of love and mercy With each person that we meet In the Father, Son, and Spirit We are walking in the light Spreading truth to every heart Making every future bright \[Verse 2\] Down beside the peaceful water Leaving every mistake behind Washed in mercy, starting over In a love so true and kind Learning how to walk like Jesus Growing closer every day Holding tight to every promise As He leads us on the way \[Chorus\] So we go to all the nations Every city, every street Sharing news of love and mercy With each person that we meet In the Father, Son, and Spirit We are walking in the light Spreading truth to every heart Making every future bright \[Bridge\] All authority in heaven All the power on the earth Jesus walks right here beside us Showing every soul its worth \[Instrumental - Expressive Smooth Saxophone Solo\] \[Verse 3\] Open up your heart right now Listen as He calls your name Jesus offers full forgiveness He will take away your shame Put your trust in Christ the Savior Ask the Lord into your heart Accept Him as your King today And let a brand new life start \[Chorus\] So we go to all the nations Every city, every street Sharing news of love and mercy With each person that we meet In the Father, Son, and Spirit We are walking in the light Spreading truth to every heart Making every future bright \[Outro\] In the light... Trust in Jesus... He is the Lord... \[Smooth saxophone solo and Fender Rhodes fade out\]
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.
