The early church went forth with love,
God's message to proclaim;
They sought to win the lost to Christ,
Sought not for worldly fame.
Prayer and fasting. played a great part.
In sending forth the Two;
Great ambassadors of Christ,
For both Gentile and Jew.
Paul and Barnabas, men of God,
Behaved themselves like men;
Crowned with success, their journey was,
Rescuing men from sin.
The challenge still remains today,
The world our parish be;
Let us go forth proclaim good news,
The news of Calvary.
Christ will be with us, 'tis proclaimed,
In God's good Book Divine;
Let us go forth as He commands,
And pour the oil and wine;
To heal the many hurts which sin,
Inflicts upon this world;
Let us go forth with courage now,
his love banner unfurl.
