Back to the Street by Petra

Once again, I forgot to post yesterday. This time is was because we actually left the house though.

The second Petra song posted here and it's from the same album as the first. From a group that I've owned probably close to 15 different albums and they have over 40 songs on my playlist.

This album is listed on the Albums I've Owned page.

It's so easy to lose the burden - Take our eyes off the fields 

Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields 

It's so easy to think we're finished with our labor for awhile 

Kick back and let somebody else go the extra mile 

Jesus said Go (Go!) into all the world 

Make disciples of all men 

We gotta Go (Go!) to the highways and compel them to come in 

As long as there's a tearful eye that cries alone at night 

As long as there's a weary soul ready to end the fight 

As long as there's an aching heart that still has strength to beat 

We gotta take this message back to the street 

We gotta take this message back to the street 

It's so easy to stay untangled in everyone else's life 

Don't get involved with strangers - don't get involved with strife 

It's so easy to save your own life - resting on what you've done 

But Jesus would leave the ninety nine to try to save the one 

It's not easy to beat the system 

It's not easy to face the heat 

But somebody's got to take this message
