Lyrics
\[Verse 1\] Dusting off my worn-out boots Stepping out the front screen door He didn’t ask for perfect hands Just hearts willing to do more Didn’t say to sit real quiet Or keep this light behind a fence He said to hit the dirt road running With a love that just makes sense \[Chorus\] So we go out to all the world Every backroad, town, and state Carrying the truth of Jesus Before the hour gets too late In the Father, Son, and Spirit We stand tall and walk right in Taking hope to every neighbor Where new lives can begin \[Verse 2\] Down at the river by the trees Leaving all our past behind Washed right clean in holy water Where His simple mercy shines Learning how to live like He did Walking honest, walkin' true Holding on to every promise Making every broken life new \[Chorus\] So we go out to all the world Every backroad, town, and state Carrying the truth of Jesus Before the hour gets too late In the Father, Son, and Spirit We stand tall and walk right in Taking hope to every neighbor Where new lives can begin \[Bridge\] He’s got all power up in heaven And all authority on earth Yet He walks right here beside us Showing every soul its worth \[Instrumental - Punchy Acoustic Guitar & Electric Slide Solo\] \[Verse 3\] So open up your heart right now Don’t keep waiting on the sidelines Jesus is calling out your name With a love that really shines Put your trust in Christ the Savior Give Him all your doubts and fears Accept Him as your Lord today And let Him wipe away your tears \[Chorus\] So we go out to all the world Every backroad, town, and state Carrying the truth of Jesus Before the hour gets too late In the Father, Son, and Spirit We stand tall and walk right in Taking hope to every neighbor Where new lives can begin \[Outro\] Hit the dirt road... Jesus is Lord... Every backroad and state... \[Acoustic strumming and slide guitar fade out\]
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.
