G#m7 Emaj7
It’s so easy to lose the burden——take our eyes of the fields
G#m7 Emaj7
Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields
A#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 Bm G D/A Bm A D A Bm
Jesus said go——into all the world, make disciples of all men
Au Cu Bm G D A D E F#
We gotta go——to the highways, compel them to come in
CHORUS
B F# G#m E B F# G#m
As long as there’s a tearful eye that cries alone at night
B F# G#m E E/D# F#
As long as there’s a weary soul ready to end the fight
E E/D# F# C#m7 B/D# E
As long as there’s an aching heart that still has strength to beat
B F# G#m E
We gotta take this message
D A Bm A Bm A
Back to the street
D A Bm G D
We gotta take this message
A Bm
Back to the street
G#m Emaj7
It’s so easy to stay untangled with everyone else’s life
G#m Emaj7
Don’t get involved with strangers——don’t get involved with strife
F#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
F#maj7 (Amaj7)
It’s not easy to beat the system——it’s not easy to face the heat
F# N.C. G# F# N.C. G#
But somebody’s got to take this message
E F# G#m
Back to the street
B F# G#m E B F# G#m
As long as there’s a tearful eye that cries alone at night
B F# G#m E E/D# F#
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
