Go and Send and Pray

David Ward and Eric Schmacher

Lyrics:

O Lord, the peoples perish,

All scattered o’er the earth;

They give their praise to idols

And do not sing Your worth.

In Christ there is redemption

But how, Lord, can they know

Unless the Word is preached to them

So move us, Lord, to go.

Chorus:

Come and move us to join this cause,

May we go and send and pray

Until every nation, tongue and tribe

The worth of Christ display.

The Lord has charged His people,

Commissioned us to be

Ambassadors proclaiming

The truth that sets men free.

May we forsake our idols,

Our time and wealth and fame

To go and send and pray that all

May learn of Jesus’ name.

And we will be the fragrance

To all, of Jesus Christ;

To some we are the stench of death,

To some the scent of life.

O Lord, send forth Your Spirit,

Empower those who preach

To spread the fame of Christ the King

‘Till every land is reached.

And when the field looks barren,

When enemies assail,

Remind them that the gates of hell

Shall not be what prevail.

The seed that they have scattered

Has not been sown in vain;

May they press on in faithfulness

And trust what You ordain.
