\[Verse 1\] Step out the front door Into the light He called us to go out And shine through the night No need to be afraid He paves the way To tell every heart What He has to say \[Chorus\] So we go to all the world Every nation, every friend Sharing the good news That never has to end In the Father, Son, and Spirit’s name We walk in the light And shout His sweet grace \[Verse 2\] Into the water Dying to sin Raised up in freedom To start once again Learnin’ His promise Walkin’ His way Following Jesus More every day \[Chorus\] So we go to all the world Every nation, every friend Sharing the good news That never has to end In the Father, Son, and Spirit’s name We walk in the light And shout His sweet grace \[Bridge\] All power and honor Belong to the King He’s with us forever In everything \[Verse 3\] Open your heart now Listen today Jesus is calling He is the Way Trust in the Lord Christ Give Him your all Accept Him as Savior Answer the call \[Chorus\] So we go to all the world Every nation, every friend Sharing the good news That never has to end In the Father, Son, and Spirit’s name We walk in the light And shout His sweet grace \[Outro\] Go tell the world Jesus is Lord Forever and ever He is adored
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.
