God on a Mission Lyrics

In the beginning

Christ ever living

You were the word of God

Reigning above

Worshipped and honored

One with your father

Oh what a joy to dwell

There in his love

Yet in your grace, you gazed

Upon the world you made

You saw our fallen race

Hopelessly lost

Moved with compassion

You came from heaven

God on a mission

Reaching for us

In flesh appearing

Veiling your glory

Laying your crown aside

Leaving your throne

Dwelling among us

Joyful to serve us

Light in the darkness

You came to your own

Holiness face to face

Glorious truth and grace

Kneeling to wash the feet

Of all the earth

Humble devotion

None could imagine

God on a mission

Reaching for us

Holy in living

Sinless in suffering

Christ, in our place you stood

Perfect and pure

And in your dying

Ransom supplying

You bore the wrath of God

Our sin deserved

Gift of amazing grace

Mercy of God displayed

All of our debt erased

There on the cross

Christ our salvation

Perfect redemption

God on a mission

Reaching for us

Now in your rising

There's no denying

Christ, you are Lord of all

This is your world

So for your glory

Send us proclaiming

Your gospel story, Lord

To all the earth

Till every tribe and tongue

Hear of your matchless love

Give us your heart to serve

Seeking the lost

Until your coming

We will be joining

God on his mission

Reaching for us
