Em7 Cmaj7
It’s so easy to lose the burden——take our eyes of the fields
Em7 Cmaj7
Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields
F#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 Gm Eb A#/F Gm F A# F Gm
Jesus said go——into all the world, make disciples of all men
Au Cu Gm Eb A# F A# C D
We gotta go——to the highways, compel them to come in

It’s so easy to stay untangled with everyone else’s life
Em Cmaj7
Don’t get involved with strangers——don’t get involved with strife
Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7 (Amaj7)
It’s not easy to beat the system——it’s not easy to face the heat
