F#m7 Dmaj7
It’s so easy to lose the burden——take our eyes of the fields
F#m7 Dmaj7
Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields
G#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 Am F C/G Am G C G Am
Jesus said go——into all the world, make disciples of all men
Au Cu Am F C G C D E
We gotta go——to the highways, compel them to come in

As long as there’s a tearful eye that cries alone at night
A E F#m D D/C# E
As long as there’s a weary soul ready to end the fight
D D/C# E Bm7 A/C# D
As long as there’s an aching heart that still has strength to beat

F#m Dmaj7
It’s so easy to stay untangled with everyone else’s life
F#m Dmaj7
Don’t get involved with strangers——don’t get involved with strife
Emaj7
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
Emaj7 (Amaj7)
It’s not easy to beat the system——it’s not easy to face the heat

But somebody’s got to take this message
