When the runners came from Bethlehem All breathless with good news They were pa*sing a baton forward through time The commission, from God's lips to our ears Carried by His Saints, two thousand years Connects us all to the same lifeline As I fix my eyes ahead I can feel the Spirit's breath And I can hear the mission bell Ringing out loud and clear It's the revolution Jesus started And it's here Echoing across the world From the shores of Galilee I can hear the mission bell call For you and me I wanna run with fire It's my heart's desire Lifting Your love higher 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 William Carey's expectation Lambs and lions called to the ends of the earth Gotta put my hands to the plow Not looking back, not now I can hear the mission bell Ringing out loud and clear It's the revolution Jesus started And it's here Echoing across the world From the shores of Galilee I can hear the mission bell call For you and me I wanna run with fire It's my heart's desire Lifting Your love higher It's my heart's desire I can hear the mission bell Ringing out loud and clear It's the revolution Jesus started And it's here Echoing across the world From the shores of Galilee I can hear the mission bell call For you and me I can hear the mission bell Ringing out loud and clear It's the revolution Jesus started And it's here I wanna run with fire It's my heart's desire Lifting Your love higher It's my heart's desire
