Petra

Petra - Back to the Street lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on Matthew 28:19, 22:9

It's so easy to lose the burden - Take our eyes off the fields

Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields

It's so easy to think we're finished with our labor for awhile

Kick back and let somebody else go the extra mile

(Chorus)

Jesus said Go (Go!) into all the world

Make disciples of all men

We gotta Go (Go!) to the highways and compel them to come in

As long as there's a tearful eye that cries alone at night

As long as there's a weary soul ready to end the fight

As long as there's an aching heart that still has strength to beat

We gotta take this message back to the street

We gotta take this message back to the street

It's so easy to stay untangled in everyone else's life

Don't get involved with strangers - don't get involved with strife

It's so easy to save your own life - resting on what you've done

But Jesus would leave the ninety nine to try to save the one

It's not easy to beat the system

It's not easy to face the heat

But somebody's got to take this message

Back to the street
