Patricia Smith has had an awful lot of new songs published by Willow in the last few years, so my most recent trawl through the AOV digital archive has come up with a lot of her great songs.
This one is based on Matt8:19-20 and Acts 1:8 and is an urgent call to mission suitable for a recessional. I like how she leaves the text unaltered when there is nothing to improve upon.
The sheet music can be purchased at Willow.
There are nothing to listen to for this one at Willow, so you can learn it from my backing. I have no idea how Patricia meant it to sound, but this style seemed to fit.
Refrain
Go and make disciples of all nations,
Baptising in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Go and make disciples of all nations,
And tell the world the Gospel of Christ.
1 Go out to all creation, and proclaim the Gospel of the Lord.
Go out to all the world, giving glory to the Lord.
2 Go out, go out in peace, to love and serve the Lord,
And know that I am with you until the end of time.
3 Go out and teach all the nations to obey the commandments of the Lord,
To love the Lord your God and your neighbour as yourself.’
4 You will be filled with power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you
And you will be my witnesses to the farthest ends of the earth.
