Fm7 C#maj7
It’s so easy to lose the burden——take our eyes of the fields
Fm7 C#maj7
Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields
Gm7 (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 G#m Fb B/F# G#m F# B F# G#m
Jesus said go——into all the world, make disciples of all men
Au Cu G#m Fb B F# B C# D#
We gotta go——to the highways, compel them to come in
CHORUS

It’s so easy to stay untangled with everyone else’s life
Fm C#maj7
Don’t get involved with strangers——don’t get involved with strife
D#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
D#maj7 (Amaj7)
It’s not easy to beat the system——it’s not easy to face the heat
