V1)
We have been given a charge to walk upon the earth
To tell the world of His coming, spread the news of His birth
To bring happiness and joy to their lives
The knowledge of forever, eternal husbands and wives
CHORUS)
Our charge is to serve one another
Our charge, to live as sisters and brothers
Our charge, to be givers of love
We are charged to stand for Him above
V2)
The charge to overcome our trials and help others do the same
To call upon the Father in the Savior’s name
The charge to build up Zion, to help feed the flock
To bring freedom to their lives, remove the chains and the lock
CHORUS
BRIDGE)
The charge is not mine alone, it belongs to all that know
We all have this charge and must labor here below
The charge, the truth, the purpose of us all
Let us be diligent and faithful, let us heed the call
CHORUS
