it is so easy to lose the burden

It is so easy to lose the burden
Take our eyes off the fields
Settle into apathy and forget
what the harvest yields
It is so easy to think we are
finished with our labor for awhile
Kick back and let somebody
else go the extra mile

Jesus said Go into all the world
Make disciples of all men
We gotta Go to the highways
and compel them to come in
As long as there s a tearful
eye that cries alone at night
As long as there s a weary is
oul ready to end the fight
As long as there s an aching
heart that still has strength to beat
We gotta take this message
back to the street
We gotta take this message
back to the street

It is so easy to stay untangled
in everyone else s life
Dont get involved with strangers
dont get involved with strife
It is so easy to save your own life
resting on what you ve done
But Jesus would leave the
ninety nine to try to save the one

It is not easy to beat the system
It is not easy to face the heat
But somebodys got to take this message
Back to the street
