Verse 1C
When the runners came from Bethlehem
G
All breathless with good news
FC
They were passing a baton forward through time
C
The commission, from God's lips to our ears
G
Carried by His saints two thousand years
F
Connects us all to the same lifeline
G
As I fix my eyes ahead
F
I can feel the Spirit's breath...
ChorusCGF
(And) I can hear the mission bell ringing out loud and clear
CGF
It's the revolution Jesus started, and it's here
CGF
Echoing across the world from the shores of Galilee
CGFCF
I can hear the mission bell call for you and me
FCF
I wanna run with fire
FCF
It's my heart's desire
FCF
Lifting your love higher
Verse 2
In the history of our faith's arrivals
Great awakenings, Welsh revivals
Saints and martyrs, summoned by a new birth
Patrick's save of the Irish nation
Willian Carey's expectation
Lambs and Lions
Called to the ends of the earth
Gotta put my hand to the plow
Not looking back, not now...
