If We’ve Only Got One Life…

Send Me – Lecrae

Send me I’ll go,
Send me I’ll go,
Send me I’ll go,
Lemme go lemme go!

I seen it with my own two,
There’s no way i can show you
A perfectly poverty stricken people with no view.
And i bet you can’t believe this,
They never heard of jesus.
Heard young butler, lil wayne, and young jeezy.

No one’s signing up to go on missions this summa.
Rather sit at home and watch exibit pimp in a humma
While a nine year old is shot down.
No one’s screaming ’stop now!’
No bridge illustrations for criminals who on lock down.

People deep in africa
Looking for an answer bra’.
In china man,
They’re dieing man,
Until they know who died for sins.
So look what grace did.
Not for us to stay here
Inside our comfort zones
At home in mama’s basement.

Get out on the grind y’all.
Ain’t no better time doll.
I know y’all read the great commission.
Let me just remind y’all:
Make disciples of the nations.
Teach’m to obey the lord.
Have to lead someone to christ before i face the lord.

Send me I’ll go,
Send me I’ll go,
Send me I’ll go,
Lemme go lemme go!

Hey! After, 1,000 years in the west and the churches
Get’n bigger daily without understand’n worship. (say what?)
Some regenerate but a lot ain’t saved.
You walk outside and be surprised cuz the block ain’t changed.
And the numbers they be get’n me.
Something just ain’t hit’n them.
America ain’t Christian they practice’n the ritual.
That’s why we should be missional.
Hey, what you think i’m spit’n for?
The united states is die’n
And in the east is looking pitiful.

Some places if they catch you
They’ll arrest you.
They’ll serve you,
But they still need the word too.
The gospel should be heard too.
We claim we ain’t ashamed,
But we ain’t hit the block up.
Were in our christian bubble,
While our brotha’s get’n locked up.
Lord I wanna stock up,
Pack a bag and walk up
In a country where my faith may get me shot up
Anywhere i go, whether my city or far abroad,
I just wanna show’ christ the risen holy god.

Send me I’ll go,
Send me I’ll go,
Send me I’ll go,
Lemme go lemme go!

I know they’re die’n in the streets over in the middle east.
Some kids sink in piece
Others hold’n up a piece.
If the violence doesn’t cease,
Then at least the deceased
Might know jesus as their savior as their bodies hit the streets.
And i know this is a graphic view.
And i pray that it’s attack’n you.
Track’n you to act and do
What you see in the back illusion.
Mathew twenty-four and fourteen.
We should read it twice
Before we think that life is just a battle
See we free in christ!
Look dawg! Life is more than church work and football!
What if you were dead and seen that christians overlooked y’all!
This is why we leave the couch
And leave the comforts of our house
To show a die’n world a God they’ll probably never read about.

The great commission says make disciples of all nations.
Have we even made them in our own nation?
Come on Christians!
Missions exist because worship doesn’t.
People don’t worship the God who made them.
We’re ambassadors.
Let’s go!

Send me I’ll go,
Send me I’ll go,
Send me I’ll go,
Lemme go lemme go!
