When the runners came from Bethlehem
All breathless with good news
They were passing a baton forward through timeThe commission, from God?s lips to our ears
Carried by His Saints, two thousand years
Connects us all to the same lifelineAs I fix my eyes ahead
I can feel the Spirit?s breathAnd I can hear the mission bell
Ringing out loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started
And it's hereEchoing across the world
From the shores of Galilee
I can hear the mission bell call
For you and meI wanna run with fire
It?s my heart?s desire
Lifting Your love higherIn the history of our faith?s arrivals
Great awakenings, Welsh revivals
Saints and martyrs, summoned by a new birthPatrick?s save of the Irish nation
William Carey?s expectation
Lambs and lions called to the ends of the earthGotta put my hands to the plow
Not looking back, not nowI can hear the mission bell
Ringing out loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started
And it's hereEchoing across the world
From the shores of Galilee
I can hear the mission bell call
For you and meI wanna run with fire
It?s my heart?s desire
Lifting Your love higher
It?s my heart?s desireI can hear the mission bell
Ringing out loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started
And it's hereEchoing across the world
From the shores of Galilee
I can hear the mission bell call
For you and meI can hear the mission bell
Ringing out loud and clear
It's the revolution Jesus started
And it's hereI wanna run with fire
It?s my heart?s desire
Lifting Your love higher
It?s my heart?s desire
