A#m7 F#maj7
It’s so easy to lose the burden——take our eyes of the fields
A#m7 F#maj7
Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields
Cm7 (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 C#m A E/B C#m B E B C#m
Jesus said go——into all the world, make disciples of all men
Au Cu C#m A E B E F# G#
We gotta go——to the highways, compel them to come in
CHORUS
C# G# A#m F# C# G# A#m
As long as there’s a tearful eye that cries alone at night
C# G# A#m F# F#/F G#
As long as there’s a weary soul ready to end the fight
F# F#/F G# D#m7 C#/F F#
As long as there’s an aching heart that still has strength to beat
C# G# A#m F#
We gotta take this message
E B C#m B C#m B
Back to the street
E B C#m A E
We gotta take this message
B C#m
Back to the street
A#m F#maj7
It’s so easy to stay untangled with everyone else’s life
A#m F#maj7
Don’t get involved with strangers——don’t get involved with strife
G#maj7
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
G#maj7 (Amaj7)
It’s not easy to beat the system——it’s not easy to face the heat
G# N.C. A# G# N.C. A#
But somebody’s got to take this message
F# G# A#m
Back to the street
C# G# A#m F# C# G# A#m
As long as there’s a tearful eye that cries alone at night
C# G# A#m F# F#/F G#
As long as there’s a weary soul ready to end the fight
F# F#/F G# D#m7 C#/F F#
As long as there’s an aching heart that still has strength to beat
C# G# A#m F#
We gotta take this message
E B C#m B C#m B
Back to the street
E B C#m A E
We gotta take this message
B C#m
Back to the street
