The Mission by Jamie Rivera

There's a call going out 
across the land 
in every nation
a call to all who swear 
allegiance to the cross of Christ
a call to true humility,
to live our lives responsibly.
to deepen our devotion 
to the cross at any price.

Jamie Rivera is known as "the inspirational diva" in the Philippines. She has popularized several Christian inspirational songs and she has always been the favorite recording artist for Catholic themes.
Let us then be sober 
moving only in the spirit
as aliens and strangers 
in a hostile foreign land
the message we're proclaiming 
is repentance and forgiveness.
the offer of salvation 
to the dying race of man.

CHORUS:
To love the lord our god,
is the heartbeat of our mission.
the spring from which our service overflows.
across the street 
or around the world.
the mission's still the same.
proclaim and live the truth
in Jesus name!

As a candle is consumed
by the passion of the flame
spilling light unsparingly
throughout the darkened room.
let us burn to know him deeper
then our service flaming bright.
will radiate his passions 
and blaze with holy light
(CHORUS)
