God on a Mission
In the beginning
Christ ever living
You were the word of God
Reigning above
Worshipped and honored
One with your father
Oh what a joy to dwell
There in his love
Yet in your grace, you gazed
Upon the world you made
You saw our fallen race
Hopelessly lost
Moved with compassion
You came from heaven
God on a mission
Reaching for us
In flesh appearing
Veiling your glory
Laying your crown aside
Leaving your throne
Dwelling among us
Joyful to serve us
Light in the darkness
You came to your own
Holiness face to face
Glorious truth and grace
Kneeling to wash the feet
Of all the earth
Humble devotion
None could imagine
God on a mission
Reaching for us
Holy in living
Sinless in suffering
Christ, in our place you stood
Perfect and pure
And in your dying
Ransom supplying
You bore the wrath of God
Our sin deserved
Gift of amazing grace
Mercy of God displayed
All of our debt erased
There on the cross
Christ our salvation
Perfect redemption
God on a mission
Reaching for us
Now in your rising
There's no denying
Christ, you are Lord of all
This is your world
So for your glory
Send us proclaiming
Your gospel story, Lord
To all the earth
Till every tribe and tongue
Hear of your matchless love
Give us your heart to serve
Seeking the lost
Until your coming
We will be joining
God on his mission
Reaching for us
Christ ever living
You were the word of God
Reigning above
Worshipped and honored
One with your father
Oh what a joy to dwell
There in his love
Yet in your grace, you gazed
Upon the world you made
You saw our fallen race
Hopelessly lost
Moved with compassion
You came from heaven
God on a mission
Reaching for us
In flesh appearing
Veiling your glory
Laying your crown aside
Leaving your throne
Dwelling among us
Joyful to serve us
Light in the darkness
You came to your own
Holiness face to face
Glorious truth and grace
Kneeling to wash the feet
Of all the earth
Humble devotion
None could imagine
God on a mission
Reaching for us
Holy in living
Sinless in suffering
Christ, in our place you stood
Perfect and pure
And in your dying
Ransom supplying
You bore the wrath of God
Our sin deserved
Gift of amazing grace
Mercy of God displayed
All of our debt erased
There on the cross
Christ our salvation
Perfect redemption
God on a mission
Reaching for us
Now in your rising
There's no denying
Christ, you are Lord of all
This is your world
So for your glory
Send us proclaiming
Your gospel story, Lord
To all the earth
Till every tribe and tongue
Hear of your matchless love
Give us your heart to serve
Seeking the lost
Until your coming
We will be joining
God on his mission
Reaching for us
