Lyrics
\[Verse 1\] Sitting out beneath the sunset Watching golden light turn red I can hear the quiet whisper Of the words that Jesus said Don’t just stay here in the valley Sitting in the shade so cool Go on out to every highway Where the weary need a friend \[Chorus\] So we ride out to all the world To every county, town, and stream Carrying the truth of Jesus Richer than an earthly dream In the Father, Son, and Spirit We are walking in His grace Taking love to every doorway Looking for a friendly face \[Verse 2\] Down beside the running river Washing all our past away Rising up in peace and freedom Stepping out to meet the day Learning how to walk like He did Living simple, true, and kind Leaving all our heavy burdens And our lonely doubts behind \[Chorus\] So we ride out to all the world To every county, town, and stream Carrying the truth of Jesus Richer than an earthly dream In the Father, Son, and Spirit We are walking in His grace Taking love to every doorway Looking for a friendly face \[Bridge\] He’s got all the power in heaven And all authority on earth Yet He walks right here beside us Showing every heart its worth \[Verse 3\] So open up your heart right now Listen to His gentle call Jesus stands right here beside you Giving mercy to us all Put your trust in Christ the Savior Make Him Lord of all you do Accept Him as your friend and King And let His love make all things new \[Chorus\] So we ride out to all the world To every county, town, and stream Carrying the truth of Jesus Richer than an earthly dream In the Father, Son, and Spirit We are walking in His grace Taking love to every doorway Looking for a friendly face \[Outro\] Out on the open road... Jesus is the Lord... Walking in His grace... \[Pedal steel guitar and acoustic guitar fade out\]
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.
