The MissionCifra de Viola

         D 
When the runners came from Bethlehem  
    A 
All breathless with good news  
          G                                D 
They were passing a baton forward through time  
   D  
The commission, from God’s lips to our ears 
A                                      G 
Carried by his saints two thousand years 
                            D 
Connects us all to the same lifeline 
            A 
As I fix my eyes ahead 
              G 
I can feel the Spirit’s breath...

(AND) I CAN HEAR THE MISSION BELL RINGING OUT LOUD AND CLEAR  
D             A           G 
IT'S THE REVOLUTION JESUS STARTED, AND IT'S HERE 
D             A                   G 
ECHOING ACROSS THE WORLD FROM THE SHORES OF GALILEE
