Chorus

Pray to the father and to the son
Pray to the spirit that makes us all one
Ask for the word get up on your feet
Spread the word to everybody you meet

Verse 1

People are hungry to hear God's word
Even to the farthest lands
We are the ones to spread the news
Even if you will dare. I hope you will care.

Verse 2

You say Jesus has love for us
Even for the sinners too
Stay on the path of righteousness
I hope you will see. What Jesus love can be.

Verse 3

He said to keep his commandments
Love all your fellow man
Even as you would love yourself
For this you must obey. If heaven is the way.

Verse 4

Come to the table and dine with him
Remember his sacrifice
He is the one who died for us
To overcome our sins. So heaven we can win.

Verse 5

So when you are down and you need some help
Pray to the living God
He'll answer the prayers that you ask of him
because he's a God who cares. So don't you dispair.
