Based on Mark 16:15



You never tried to win more secular appeal 

And water down Your message with a slightly different feel 

You never tried to be politically correct 

Or skirt around the issue attempting to connect 



You spoke the truth in love so faithfully 

You expect no less from me 



(Chorus) 

It's a sacred trust that You gave to us 

To take Your Word into all the world 

It's a sacred trust that You gave to us 

The message of salvation and Your love 



You never shied away from critical debate 

Or beat around the bushes when discussing human fate 

You weren't ashamed to tell them who Your Father was 

Never ran from persecution like human nature does 



You prayed for all believers on Your knees 

Then you handed us the keys 



(Chorus) 



You're trusting us to be bold 

The story has to be told 

To every nation and tongue 

Young and old 

I'm gonna shout from the hill 

How could I ever be still? 

I'm gonna let the chips fall 

Where they will 



You spoke the truth in love so faithfully 

You expect no less from me 



(Chorus)
