OBLIGATIONS
3
VERSE 1
Obligation of the Christian
To the heathen of the world
To use all means available
To preach the word of God
Obligation of the Christian
Witnessing to everyone
Conversion of the nations
Through the blood of Jesus Christ
VERSE 2
Can't you do just a little bit more
Can't you go just a little bit further
Can't you preach just a little bit more
Can't you give just a little bit more
The church must send or it will end
So attempt great things for God
CHORUS
Get up! Stand up!
You must fight the fight
Get up! Stand up!
Don’t give up the fight
VERSE 3
Jesus came on a mission
He came from heaven to earth
He fought the devil in the wilderness
He fought for the souls of men
He came to seek that which was lost
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
Dying on the cross
He blood was shed for us
CHORUS
VERSE 4
Many heroes in the past
Have fought for the name of Christ
They fought to build the church of God
They fought to do his will
They fought to go on the mission field
They fought and died for Jesus sake
They fought to win the lost
Fighting the good fight
CHORUS
VERSE 5
The Apostles did what they could do
They went to the ends of the world
Paul went the Gentile nation
Preaching Christ to them
William Carey fought for India
Adoniram Jatson fought for Burma
Zinzendorf went to the whole wide world
James Mackewon for Ghana
CHORUS
VERSE 6
It's my turn and it’s your turn
To fight a really good fight
Others have worked now we must work
For this generation
We cannot sit and make excuses
Playing games with the word of God
Getting married and making babies
Doing business and changing jobs
We are in a fight, a fight to win the lost
CHORUS
VERSE 7
