Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

It’s so easy to lose the burden——take our eyes of the fields

Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields

It’s so easy to think we’re 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, compel them to come in

Chorus

As long as there’s a tearful eye that cries alone at night

[G/f#]

As long as there’s a weary soul ready to end the fight

[G/f#]

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’s so easy to stay untangled with everyone else’s life

Don’t get involved with strangers——don’t get involved with strife

It’s 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’s not easy to beat the system——it’s not easy to face the heat

But somebody’s got to take this message

Back to the street

As long as there’s a tearful eye that cries alone at night

[G/f#]

As long as there’s a weary soul ready to end the fight

[G/f#]

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
