Matthew 28:18-20

lyrics

Verse 1:
A city set on a hill, a lamp on a stand,
A grain of salt, and a fisher of man.
The Bible calls me to be a witness to the Lamb.
But when the time comes to speak, I find I utter no cry.
Instead my mind goes blank, and my throat gets dry.
Oh, what a sinner I am to let these chances slip by.

Chorus:
Lord, help me tell my world what You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled: shine a light for others to see.
It's not a matter of choice.
I need to lift up my voice,
'Cause you said, "Go, tell My world."

Verse 2:
When I hide my candle behind the bushel of secrecy,
It's like keeping medicine from the sick and diseased,
All for the sake of pride. What would they think of me?
God, I need to proclaim the Gospel far and near.
Being scared is no excuse, for perfect love casts out fear.
Grant me courage to share with him who has ears to hear.

Chorus:
Lord, help me tell my world what You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled: shine a light for others to see.
It's not a matter of choice.
I need to lift up my voice,
'Cause you said, "Go, tell My world."

Bridge:
I wanna tell them...
Love knows your name. Love saw your pain;
Your sin and shame. Love cared. Love came.
God's greatest plan; Love became a man.
With your sin beset, Love died your death.
Three days, and then Love rose again;
Rose beyond the sky. Now Love reigns on high.
This is your day to come away.
Look to Him above. Choose life through Love.

Swift is the coming of that Day.
And if I fail to point the Way,
How many more souls will be cast away?

Chorus:
Help me tell my world what You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled...

Lord, help me tell my world what You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled: this flag of liberty.
Someday in Paradise
I will the more rejoice
Because I told my world.
You said "Go, tell My world."
I need to tell my world.
