VERSE 1

What are you doing here in Jerusalem

Didn’t I say to you; go and go

I give you power to be my witnesses

To the end of the world (×2)

So how come you stayed in your hometown

Was my message not clear

How come you stayed in one city in one place

In the place that you thought was best for you

You didn’t go as far as I told you to go

But you stayed where you thought you’d prosper oh Child. Oh child

INTERLUDE

You should have gone to the ends of the world

There are so many harvest fields

Everyone thinks someone else will go

These places are left to drown in sin

While other religions just take over

And the light of the gospel is dim over there

So many will go to hell

How come you stayed in one city in one place

In the place that you thought was best for you

You didn’t go as far as I told you to go

But you stayed where you thought you’d prosper oh Child. Oh child

INTERLUDE

You should have gone to the ends of the world

It’s time now to go to the ends of the world

We must rise up and we must go

How many more years do we have

Are we going to stay in our comfort zone

Where have our fears led us

They have only kept us

From the blessings of God

How come you stayed in one city in one place

In the place that you thought was best for you

You didn’t go as far as I told you to go

But you stayed where you thought you’d prosper oh Child. Oh child

INTERLUDE

You should have gone to the ends of the world

You were afraid of me your God

You didn’t trust me when I said go

You didn’t think I’d take care of you

I’m giving you another chance

It’s not too late to go

To the ends of the world

Go to the ends of the world

How come you stayed in one city in one place

In the place that you thought was best for you

You didn’t go as far as I told you to go

But you stayed where you thought you’d prosper oh Child. Oh child

You should have gone to the ends of the world

Uproot yourself from your comfort zone

Start obeying what I’m saying

Believe what I’m saying

INTERLUDE

How come you stayed in one city in one place

In the place that you thought was best for you

You didn’t go as far as I told you to go

But you stayed where you thought you’d prosper oh Child. Oh child

INTERLUDE

You should have gone to the ends of the world
