an obligation is laid on me – v2

An obligation is laid on me
to proclaim the Gospel
to share the message of God’s love
to the ends of the earth.

I am commissioned, I am sent
into the world
to offer this message
God’s gift of love.

To share God’s love
to the ends of the earth
this is a burden
our commission from God.

A holy purpose
to go out, to witness
not by our own will
but the will of God.
