C#m7 Amaj7
It’s so easy to lose the burden——take our eyes of the fields
C#m7 Amaj7
Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields
D#m7 (C#m7)
It’s so easy to think we’re finished with our labor for awhile
(C#m7) N.C.
Kick back and let somebody else go the extra mile
Au* Cu Em C G/D Em D G D Em
Jesus said go——into all the world, make disciples of all men
Au Cu Em C G D G A B
We gotta go——to the highways, compel them to come in
CHORUS
E B C#m A E B C#m
As long as there’s a tearful eye that cries alone at night
E B C#m A A/G# B
As long as there’s a weary soul ready to end the fight
A A/G# B F#m7 E/G# A
As long as there’s an aching heart that still has strength to beat

We gotta take this message

C#m Amaj7
It’s so easy to stay untangled with everyone else’s life
C#m Amaj7
Don’t get involved with strangers——don’t get involved with strife
Bmaj7
It’s so easy to save your own life——resting on what you’ve done
(Amaj7)
But Jesus would leave the ninety-nine——to try to save the one
Bmaj7 (Amaj7)
It’s not easy to beat the system——it’s not easy to face the heat
B N.C. C# B N.C. C#
But somebody’s got to take this message
